<p>A integrated flue support construction ( 2 ) for a Marx impulse voltage generator ( 2 ) with several generator stages ( 3 ) is disclosed. It has been known to arrange a flue ( 2 ) for flushing the air of switching spark gaps ( 4 ) separately from a support frame for the switching spark gaps ( 4 ), the impulse capacitors ( 5 ) and series and parallel resistors ( 7, 8 ). According to the invention, the flue ( 2 ) has a supporting function for the switching spark gaps ( 4 ) and individual or all electrical components ( 5 - 10 ) of the impulse circuit. In one embodiment the flue ( 2 ) consists of a triangular cylinder support structure ( 2 ), wherein the side walls ( 11 ) are formed by insulating plates ( 11 ), each receiving one of the electrical components, namely the switching spark gap ( 4 ), impulse capacitor ( 5 ) and resistors ( 7, 8 ). Advantages of the invention are: a less complicated construction and a saving of costs, a more compact design with smaller flue cross section area ( 22 ) and thereby smaller self-inductance of the impulse circuit as well as easier production, transportability and handling because of stacked modules ( 14 ) each with at least one generator stage ( 3 ).</p> |
