Abstract
Switches for fusion experiments are required to discharge energy-storage capacitor banks, charged to voltages up to 100 kV, and to pass currents of 50 kA to 2 MA. The characteristics of various types of switch are considered, and detailed descriptions are given of several switches in which the current is passed as a low-pressure gas discharge.
