Popis:	Spark gap overvoltages of fast Marx generators in the 100-300 kv range were studied as a function of stray and interstage capacitance for several circuit designs. Overvoltage measurements were made at low voltages by simulating the spark with a silicon-controlled rectifier. Breakdown times were measured to nanoseconds by viewing the light flash from the sparks with a fast photomultiplier. The influence of the ultraviolet irradiation on breakdown time was studied by masking the first gap. Practical conclusions for Marx generator design are presented.
