S-5N all-solid-state repetitive frequency pulsed generator

Northwest Institute of Nuclear Technology has imported an SOS-based pulsed generator with capacity of repetitive operating from Russia. The generator has the highest peak power and the highest average power among similar generators around the world. The structure is introduced and testing results are described in this paper. With varying of load, the S-5N generator has output voltage of 400~600kV, output current of 2~3kA, FWHM of 40~60ns and output energy of 40~65J per pulse. In the condition of 500Hz repetitive operating, the average output power is up to 30kW. The generator can operate continuously at repetition frequency of 300Hz and 3min at 500Hz.
