Abstract :
The paper deals with experimental tests of dielectric strength of triggered vacuum switches (TVS). The dielectric strength was measured applying AC high voltage to a switch after several commutations of current in the TVS. Two approaches to determine a breakdown probability curve were used in the tests. Taking into account practical considerations, the main body of experimental results was obtained at the low probability end of the curve.
