Abstract A;500 kV0400 kA0100 ns pulsed power generator~PPG-I! for x-pinch experiments was designed and constructed atTsinghua University. It is composed of a Marx generator, a combined pulse forming line~PFL!, a gas-filled V0N fielddistortion switch, a transfer line, and a copper-sulphate resistive load for testing.The PPG-I implements a novel designin lines that four pieces of waterline with impedance 5V in parallel constitute a combined PFL with 1.25V, andincorporate each other by a common self-break V0N switch on a matched 1.25V transfer line. At the peak chargingvoltage of the PFL, the V0N switch breaks down in multi-channel discharge mode, and electric energy is fed into thetesting load through the 1.25V transfer line. This article presents the design and test of the PPG-I generator. Keywords: Multi-channel discharge; Pulse forming line; Pulsed power; Rise time; X-pinch 1. INTRODUCTION Between the output electrodes of a pulsed power generator,two or more wires crossing and touching at a single pointconstitute an “x” shape load. The cross position explodesfirst and then pinches axially to form the so-called x-pinchplasma,bythemagneticpressureaspulsedpowergeneratordelivers a suitable current to the “x” wires ~Kalantar H Shelkovenko
