Abstract: A power condition system is disclosed for conditioning power for charging of at least one capacitive element of a pulse power electrode, where the electrical power is received from at least one of a downhole alternator or generator. The received electrical power is rectified and controlled for both voltage and current amplitude. The electrical power is then split into two parallel square wave signals. The electrical power is then transformed, using parallel high frequency high voltage transformers, to a high voltage signal. The high voltage signals are rejoined and rectified to produce a high voltage DC signal. The DC signal is smoothed at a high capacity inductor and output via a switching element to at least one capacitive element of the pulse power electrodes.
