ABSTRACT
The main aim of the project proposes high voltage DC generation using Marx generator precept that uses MOSFET alongside capacitor stacks. The Marx precept turned into brought with the aid of Erwin Otto Marx. The principle includes producing a pulse of excessive voltage with the aid of the usage of some of capacitors parallel in an effort to charge up to on time after which installation in connection collection to develop an excessive voltage for the duration of the off length. The machine is used inside the method of era of in Kv’s for actual time checking out to be finished on electrical equipment insulation effectiveness to be placed up on strength carriers. The system includes 4 stages of diodes, one MOSFET in conjunction with one capacitor. Diodes are used in capacitor charging at every stage and MOSFET is used as a transfer to keep away from power losses. The capacitors are charged in parallel in the course of the ON time using 555 timer. The capacitors are delivered in a sequence the use of MOSFET switches in the course of the OFF time. Our challenge offers a compact and smooth device from a DC deliver of 12 V to get an approx (36-40) Volts.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Rapid discharge of stored energy in short interval as electrical pulses into a load produces big quantity of instant power. The traits of pulse as rise time, fall time, pulse width, repetition charge, a voltage and strength tier varies with unique applications. High voltage pulsed electricity have extensive variety of programs in exclusive fields like industrial, scientific, agricultural, environmental etc. Marx Generator is an excessive voltage pulse generator. The essential precept of Marx Generator is that the capacitors are charged in parallel as much as its input DC voltage stage. Those capacitors are then related in series the use of switches to produce an excessive voltage pulse throughout the burden technology. With the improvement of solid state electronics, solid-state devices have become more and more appropriate for pulsed power application. They might offer the pulsed energy systems with compactness, reliability, excessive repetition fee, and lengthy existence time. The rising of pulsed electricity generators the usage of solid-state gadgets gets rid of barriers of traditional additives, and promises pulsed strength era to be extensively utilized in business packages. However, strong-state switching devices inclusive of MOSFET to be had now are best rated up to 3 kilo volts. Maximum of pulsed power systems demand of much higher voltage rating.
Switching devices are vital additives in pulsed power systems. Conventional Marx Generator use spark gas switches. These switches possess barriers like short lifestyles time in terms of number of operation cycles, low switching frequency, huge length, extra maintenance and many others. In current years the strong country switches like MOSFET or IGBT is utilized in place of spark gaps. The benefits of solid country switches are compact, reliable, bendy, more efficient, long lifestyles time, low charges and reduced losses. The output pulse width and amplitude each may be varied by controlling the gate control pulses to the switches.
Both MOSFET and IGBT give variable pulse width and can generate a fast pulse rise time within a few ns across the load. The switching time of MOSFET is much lesser than IGBT (typically:- 20 ns for a MOSFET, 200 ns for an IGBT). IGBT are available at higher voltage ratings (up to 6500 V), where as the MOSFETs are limited to 1200 V.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In the past, to generate a high voltage DC involves using a step up transformer and the this involves much conversion process and also expensive. With the development of solid-state electronics, solid-state devices are becoming more and more suitable for pulsed power application. They could provide the pulsed power systems with compactness, reliability, high repetition rate, and long life time. The rising of pulsed power generators using solid-state devices eliminates limitations of conventional components, and promises pulsed power technology to be widely used in commercial applications. However, solid-state switching devices such as MOSFET available now are only rated up to a few kilo Volts. Most of pulsed power systems demand much higher voltage ratings.

5.1 CONCLUSION
The simulation gives the concept of HVDC generation i.e., 2kV the use of sphere gaps. In this study, solid state devices consisting of MOSFET and diodes are used in Marx generator to replace of switches and resistors. Moreover, its miles reasonable that MOSFET drivers make use of method of self-provided power. The Marx generator is used to multiply voltage by way of the usage of MOSFETS. The number of MOSFETS used comes to a decision the wide variety of times the voltage needs to be increased. In this examine we’ve got used four stages in hardware and the circuit multiplies the enter voltage effectively.
5.2 RECOMMENDATION
The output voltage increment depends on the amount of stages. The switching devices i.e., MOSFETS is replaced by way of the alternative devices. In this circuit we obtain high voltage and low current so in future we increase voltage as well as current.
