The circuits designed of the high voltage pulsed source using the sphere-gap as switching and will be used as generating of the high voltage pulsed electric field (PEF). Based on the experiment testing that the high voltage source can produce 80 kV with the efficiency of high voltage DC source is 81.70% and the operating voltage of sphere-gap is 18.5 kV. Therefore, the intensity of the pulsed electric field of the design can be reached at 80 kV/cm. Based on this ranges that design can be used for electroporation process. Furthermore, this tool was tested into a sample, Nematode. For Nematode sample testing, the electric fields strength is E = 37.33 kV/cm on the voltage of between the electrode is 6.7 kV. Thus, the design of the pulsed electric field source using a sphere-gap has functioned.
