Summary

Description
English: A high voltage Marx generator displayed at the Autumn Exhibition of State-Owned Electrical Engineering Enterprises (VEM) at Leipzig, East Germany, September 1954. A Marx generator is an electrical device that produces a pulse of very high voltage, used for testing high voltage electric utility components. At left the parts of the Marx generator are visible; a stack of high voltage capacitors (black cylinders) connected through spark gaps (pairs of metal balls). When the spark gaps fire, the ten charged capacitors are connected in series, generating a voltage pulse at the top terminal of ten times the capacitors' voltage. The top output terminal of the generator is connected by a wire to some type of high voltage device being tested (left)
