Abstract :
Research into the confinement of high temperature plasmas by magnetic fields with the ultimate aim of generating thermonuclear fusion power has been in progress for the last 30 years. The two best magnetic field configurations at present are the Tokamak and reversed field pinch. These magnetic fusion machines require pulsed power systems and switching systems which are both described
