Abstract: We have developed a ten stages Marx generator type pulsed
power system with MOSFETs. The operation principle of the circuit has been
clarified, and the experimental results have confirmed the operation of the
developed circuit. In the case of ten stages system, the repetitive
operation is verified at the frequency of 1 kHz, and the output voltage of
9.4 kV was obtained. The current was calculated as 36 A, and increasing of
the current flowed in the system was achieved. The experiment of the
underwater pulsed electrical discharge is performed, and the occurrence of
the underwater pulsed electric discharge was confirmed.
