Abstract
The pulsed power SPEED4 generator has a capacitor bank system of 1,25 μF in a Marx configuration to produce up to 100 kV, a maximum current up to ∼700 kA, and 6,25 kJ of stored energy. In the plasma focus mode, this device has been prepared for the study of the emission of X-rays and neutrons in the Laboratory of Plasma Physics and Plasma Technologies of the Chilean Nuclear Energy Commission. The present experimental results report about the electrical characterization as well as preliminary results using Hydrogen like filling gas. Pinch evidences in the high voltage and current derivative electrical signals are presented in this work and preliminary arguments are given in order to achieve an optimal operation.
