Net II Simulation of a Pulse Forming Line (PFL) with Spark Gap and Load
Abstract
The purpose of this Net II [1] simulation is to understand the operation of a spark gap switch in series with a resistive liquid load at the output of a pulse forming line (PFL), fed by a specified power supply. A series of runs simulated a shorted spark gap at the output of a PFL fed by a Marx generator. Comparing results with experimental data, it was inferred that the load resistance is less than the PFL's impedance, and with considerable inductance. We seek a load inductance as close to zero as possible.
