In the process of studying charge holding capability and delay time for breakdown in liquids under nanosecond (ns) time scales, a Tesla based pulse generator has been developed. Pulse generator is a combination of Tesla transformer, pulse forming line, a fast closing switch, and test chamber. Use of Tesla transformer over conventional Marx generators makes the pulse generator very compact, cost effective, and requires less maintenance. The system has been designed and developed to deliver maximum output voltage of 300 kV and rise time of the order of tens of nanoseconds. The paper deals with the system design parameters, breakdown test procedure, and various experimental results. To validate the pulse generator performance, experimental results have been compared with PSPICE simulation software and are in good agreement with simulation results.
在研究纳秒（ns）时间尺度下液体中电荷保持能力和击穿延迟时间的过程中，已开发出一种基于特斯拉的脉冲发生器。脉冲发生器由特斯拉变压器、脉冲形成线、快速闭合开关和测试腔组成。与传统的马克思发生器相比，使用特斯拉变压器使脉冲发生器非常紧凑、具有成本效益且维护需求更少。该系统的设计和开发目标是提供300 kV的最大输出电压和几十纳秒量级的上升时间。本文论述了系统设计参数、击穿测试程序以及各种实验结果。为验证脉冲发生器的性能，已将实验结果与PSPICE仿真软件进行了比较，并且与仿真结果吻合良好。
