Description
M-Resistor, developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, offers pulsed power operators a more protective and more inspectable way to manage reflected energy in high-voltage systems. Unlike prior resistor designs that could fail internally without obvious signs and could return damaging energy to the power supply, M-Resistor adds an adjustable spark-gap path to isolated ground, improving protection across different voltage conditions while also giving personnel a clear visual view of the internal assembly and adjustment process. That combination supports longer equipment life, lower risk of surprise failures and greater operator confidence in demanding test and research environments. How it Works M-Resistor works by serving as a charge resistor for a MARX generator while also providing a controlled path for unwanted reflected energy. During normal operation, low-voltage current can charge the system, but if a reflected pulse occurs, the adjustable spark switch can divert that energy to an isolated ground instead of allowing it to travel back into the power supply. The adjustable gap lets the operator match the setting to the voltage being used, and the clear epoxy housing allows direct visual inspection of the internal condition and spark switch position. Technical Description M-Resistor is an improved resistor assembly derived from an earlier X-ray charge resistor architecture, but modified to address inspection, grounding and reflected-energy protection limitations
