Abstract:
In this paper a repetitive high voltage pulse generator is presented. The nominal output voltage of the high voltage pulses is 10kV. The main purpose is to create a pulsed electrical field to be used in scientific applications such as medicine, biology or food processing. In these cases, the pulses width should be as short as 100 ns with rising and falling times as shorter as possible. Moreover, for these applications, the pulsed electrical field is used in continuous processing, meaning that it needs to be repetitive and repeatable. In this case, the repetition rate is specified at 1 kHz.
