Adding 2nd stage to Solid State Marx Generator fails
Hi Friends
After my one stage Solid State Marx Generator started working, I have added a 2nd stage, but it does not work it should be a simple matter of adding stages
When adding the 2nd stage I expected that it would add ~1000V to the output, but instead it produces the same output as one stage ~2000V. I notice that the voltage across Q3 and Q5 is only 600V, half of the single stage Q3 voltage of 1200v, which is the reason for the low output. But I have no idea why it does that, 1200 is expected on both Q3 and Q5.
DUAL STAGE (not working as advertised)
SINGLE STAGE (working)
