  A fast risetime generator with 500kV rated output voltage for the electromagnetic pulse ( EMP ) effects experiment is fabricated. It mainly consists of a low inductance Marx ge nerator, a compact independent-sealed peaking capacitor, an output switch, and a small quantity of gas-sealed insulated containers. Compared with other similar pulsers mentioned in IEC 61000-4-32, the insulated containers of the generator are independent of each other in gas-sealed structure, and its number is les s than that of other pulsers. It can be used to drive a guided wave antenna directly to produce an electromagnetic environment, which conformed with the new standard for high-altitude nuclear explosion electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) developed by IEC. Output voltage produced by the generator in demo-load state can reach to 600kV. And, risetime of the waveform is 1.2ns, pulse width (FWHM) being 32ns. When the generator driving a 10m guided-wave antenna, an output voltage with a risetime of no more than 2.7ns and a FWHM of 30ns is achieved.
