Abstract—

The efficiency of power transistors in composite high-voltage switches is analyzed. A high-voltage pulse generator capable of generating a periodic voltage signal with a rectangular shape, an amplitude as high as 16 kV, a current greater than 40 A, and a repetition rate of up to 100 kHz has been developed.
