GT50K Trigger Generator

This generator has been designed as a trigger source for Marx generators and for trigatrons (triggered spark gaps). It can replace the obsolete PT55 trigger generator as mechanical dimensions and attachment points are the same. The advantages of our generator are:

  • · Solid-state switch
  • · High repetition rate
  • · Long lifetime
  • · No need of gas
  • · No need of external high voltage power supply
  • · Can be triggered by a 5 V digital signal or by fiber optic

GT50K - Trigger Generator


This generator has been designed as a trigger source for Marx generators and for trigatrons (triggered spark gaps). It can replace the obsolete PT55 trigger generator as mechanical dimensions and attachment points are the same. The advantages of our generator are:

  • · Solid-state switch
  • · High repetition rate
  • · Long lifetime
  • · No need of gas
  • · No need of external high voltage power supply
  • · Can be triggered by a 5 V digital signal or by fiber optic

Electrical ground connection points are available at the four corners of the metallic front panel.

A threaded stud (M8) located in the centre of the rear panel provides the high voltage output pulse.
