  Saturable pulse transformers (SPTs) based on multiple batches of windings in parallel combination and coaxial cylindrical conductors are presented. The proposed SPT can be employed as the transformer and magnetic switch simultaneously for pulse capacitor or high-voltage pulse modulator of several hundred kV range. The SPT, with important features such as auto-resetting of core, high step-up ratio and low saturation inductance, achieves a compact integration of common transformer and magnetic switch. In the SPT, The physical suppression effect caused by reversed magnetic coupling mechanism among primary and secondary windings can reduce the saturation inductance of the SPT windings to a level lower than their structure inductances, which helps to achieve a magnetic switch with low saturation inductance. The proposed SPTs were applied in a high power pulse modulator based on a helical Blumlein pulse forming line (HBPFL). When the SPT played as a pulse transformer, the HBPFL can be charged to 200 kV. When the SPT played as a main magnetic switch of the HBPFL, it helped to form a quasi-square voltage pulse with amplitude of 180 kV,pulse duration of 130 ns, rise time of 60 ns.
