Comparative Study of Switches of Powerful Nanosecond Pulses Based on Blocks of Series-Connected Shock-Ionized Dynistors

Abstract Two types of switches for high-power current pulses with an operating voltage 24 kV based on blocks series-connected shock-ionized dynistors are described. The switching processes these considered, and the results their comparative study presented. possibility efficient nanosecond amplitude 6 kA a rise rate 150 A/ns is shown. prospects increasing switched power determined.
