I am trying to understand how a PFN (Pulse Forming Network) could charge a capacitor to a high voltage and I have some questions first.
Is there any type of voltage multiplying PFN which does not use switches or spark gaps?
(The only type I have seen is the Marx type which uses either switches or spark gaps to generate a high voltage output)
If a PFN was repeadetely discharged into a capacitor would the capacitors voltage increase beyond the PFN's voltage?
The last question I have is, could the inductance of the PFN act as a flyback transformer to generate high voltages?
Thanks everyone.
