Can you say more about your application? What does your load look like? What pulse shape? There are well-known solutiuons for most problems.
As Jim said, a lot depends on the energy you need per pulse. What works for a few mJ will not work for MJ BTW, SCRs probably switch a lot faster than thyratrons. Years ago, I cobbled up a high-current SCR pulser with a few thousand uF cap and stud mounted SCR. It would drive enough current through a length of hook up wire so that the wire would jump off the desk when pulsed. -John ================= > On 26 December 2013 16:07, ct1dmk <ct1...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm willing to generate a pulse (of some few hundred volts) >> by discharging a capacitor into a pulse transformer > > There are probably more modern approaches, but a thryatron is one > possibility.
