Abstract
Abstract In a pulse power supply circuit, first and second charging capacitors are connected in series with a discharge device. First and second gas-filled control switching elements, connected in parallel with each other, are respectively connected in series with the first and second charging capacitors. First and second pulse power sources are respectively connected in parallel with the first and second control switching elements and also respectively connected in series with the first and second charging capacitors so as to charge the capacitors alternately. A control circuit controls the first and second control switching elements so that the switching elements alternately and repeatedly at substantially equal time intervals.
