Abstract

Triggered vacuum switches (TVS) owing to high switching capacities are widely used in pulse power and pulse technologies. High current triggered vacuum switch (TVS) has been developed for switching of current in AC networks with frequency from 50 Hz till hundreds hertz. New TVS has disk electrode system which forms axial magnetic field by flowing current itself. Experimental researches of switching and breaking ability of new TVS are carried out at various parameters of discharge current. It is shown, that TVS is capable to switch repeatedly a current from units up to tens kiloampers with duration up to tens milliseconds.
