The high-voltage pulse generator is consist of transformers of fundamental wave and harmonic waves, and shunt capacitances. The pulse has the fundamental wave and the harmonic waves that have been increased as a series circuit by the transformers to make high voltage pulse. This paper shows the high-voltage pulse generator simulation using a circuit program with experiment data. In the equivalent circuit, magnetized inductances and loss resistances which affect output voltage, have been obtained. The output capacitor circuits have characteristics of band pass. The output voltages of the pulse width 50% and 25%(PWM) were obtained. The output of the high-voltage pulse generator is 2.5kHz, 1.8kV.

A compact size high voltage pulse generator with nanosecond rise time has been fabricated and investigated experimentally. It can be reduced the inductance of the generator by fixing the Marx generator components and pulse forming network components into a single cylindrical unit. As a result, it can be obtained nanosecond rise time about $8{\sim}10[ns]$ and pulse width of several hundred nanoseconds from the modified Marx pulse generator. And parametric studies showed that the rise time of the output pulse was depended little on the change of the load resister and the charging capacitor while the pulse width of the output pulse was depended greatly upon the change of the load resistor and the charging capacitor.

High-capacity high-voltage pulse generator that can be used for environmental clean-up was developed using transformers. High-voltage pulse is consists of the primary wave and the harmonic wave which are increased as a series circuit using transformers to make pulses. Each transformer has a band-pass characteristics. The output voltage of the pulse width 50[%] was decided. The output voltage of high-voltage pulse generator device was measured as 1.4[kV] (Peak-to-Peak).

A high voltage pulse generator with a rotator airhole spark gap instead of a rotary ball spark gap has been proposed and investigated. Its feasibility as a high voltage pulse generator is compared with the rotary ball spark gap type one. Parametric studies showed that proposed the rotary airhole type spark gap had a very stable breakdown voltage and reliable pulse repetition time compared with the conventional rotary ball type spark gap. This however showed that the proposed pulse generator with a rotary airhole spark gap instead of a rotary ball spark gap could be potentially used as a very stable and reliable pulse generator in the various fields of applications.

An objection of this study is to develop a measuring circuit of a gauge using radioisotope for compaction control. The gauge developed in this study makes use of radioisotope with the activity exempted from domestic atomic law and consists of measuring circuits for gamma-rays and thermal neutrons, a high voltage supply unit, and a microprocessor. To obtain meaningful numbers of pulse counts, parallel five and two circuits are provided for gamma-rays and thermal neutrons, respectively. Being simple in electrical characteristics of G-M detector for gamma-rays, pulses are counted through only a shaping circuit. Very small pulses generated from He- 3 proportional detector for thermal neutrons are amplified to the maximum of 50 [dB] and a window comparator accepts only pulses with meaning. To minimize effects of natural environmental radiation and electrical noise, circuits are electrostatically shielded and pulses made by ripples are eliminated by taking frequency of high voltage supplied to the circuit and pulse height of ripples into consideration. One-chip microprocessor is applied to process various counts, results are stored and the gauage is made capable to communicate with PC. Enough and meaningful numbers of pulses are counted with the prototype gauage for compaction control.

Because of internal voids in insulators give rise to partial discharge(PD), which cause local breakdown and even entire insulation breakdown. Treeing due to PD is one of the main causes of breakdown of the insulating materials and reduction of the insulation life. Therefore the necessity for establishing a method to diagnose the aging of insulation materials and to predict the breakdown of insulation has become important. From this viewpoint, our studies diagnose insulation degradation using the method of computer sensing system, which has the advantages of PD and acoustic emission(AE) sensing system. To use advantages of these two methods can be used effectively to search for treeing location and PD in some materials. In analysis method of degradation, We analyzed the PD pulse and AE pulses by regression analysis, compared to these obtained the correlation coefficient and determination coefficient by T-distribution and saw that PD and AE pulses show a similar pattern on the whole. This is in agreement with the results of the research by Yoshimura and Fujita.

This study proposes a current source-type pulse generator to improve output voltage and current waveforms under a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) system. The proposed circuit comprises two parallel-connected current source-type converters. These converters can satisfy the required output waveforms of plasma processing. The parallel-connected converters operate without reverse current fault by applying a time-delay control technique. Conventional voltage source converters based on pulse power supply exhibit drawbacks in short-circuit current, and problems occur when they are applied to a CCP system. The proposed pulse power supply based on a current source converter fundamentally solves the short-circuit current problem. Therefore, this topology can improve the voltage and current accuracy of a CCP system.

Measurerments of ultrasonic signals caused by corona discharges were perforrred by using an ultrasonic meeasurerment technique to analyze the deve1qxrent states of coronas in a high-voltage power apparatus. We also examined the relationship between discharge magnitude and ultrasonic pulse number to diagnose the deterioration of electrical insulation by corona discharges. From these results, it was found that ultrasonic signals due to corona discharges can be firstly detected at the peak value of positive polarities prior to the breakdown voltages, and the magnitude of ultrasonic signals was closely related to the current pulses by the corona discharges when ac voltages were gradually raised, and it appeared that ultrasonic pulse number was proportional to discharge magnitude. Attenuation, tirre-delaying and directivity charocteristics of ultrasonic signals propagated to air by using ultrasonic oscillation and receiving systems are feJXlrt.ed as a basic data of ultrasonic measurements in out-door HV apparatus.aratus.

This research has been carried out to develop a low-energy large-aperture pulsed electron beam generator (LELA), 200keV 1A, for industrial applications. One of the most important feature of this electron beam generator is large electron beam cross section of $190cm^2$. Low energy electron beam generators have been used for water cleaning, flue gas cleaning, and pasteurization, etc. In these applications the cross sectionof the e-beam is related to reaction efficiency. Another important feature of this LELA EB generator is easy maintenance because of its simple structure and relatively low vacuum operation compared to the conventional EB generators. The conventional EB generators need to be scanned because the small cross section thermal electron emitters are used in the conventional EB generators which have small EB cross section. In this research, we use the secondary electrons generated by ion bombardment on the HV cathode surface as a electron source. Therefore we can make any shape of EB cross section without scanning.
