Title: High-Voltage, Low-Inductance Switch for Megampere Pulse Currents

Journal Article · · Review of Scientific Instruments
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1716727· OSTI ID:4234741

A switch is described that will handle pulse currents of several millions of amperes and stand off d-c supply voltages of over thirty kilovolts. It is useful in powering fast pinch devices such as those used in thermonuclear research. (auth)
