Investigation of pulse forming line section of pulse power machine

The configuration, pulse forming line section and experimental results of a pulse power machine were introduced. The insulative inspection of pulse forming line, the jitter of lasertriggered switch, the jitter of output switch and the jitter of the pulse forming line section were investigated. The experimental results indicate that the nylon clapboards of the pulse forming line have no flashover along the surfaces at 3.6 MV. The jitter of the laser-triggered switch is smaller than 1.6 ns while the jitter of the output switch less than 3.1 ns and that of the pulse forming line section less than 3.0 ns. All the experimental results meet the requirements of the design．
