DEVELOPMENT OF SWITCHING COMPONENTS FOR CONTROLLED FUSION RESEARCH
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4282653
Components for switching large stored energies are under development at the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore. Applications and problems are discussed. Work was done on a low-inductance ignitron. A test and development program of ignitrons led to a tube good at 10 kv for pulses of 30 ka with a decay time of 500 mu s. Times for transfer of the arc to the wall were measured for several types of ignitrons. A 4 in. insulated cathode ignitron was developed for pulses of 10 ka for 20 ms. The firing delay and jitter of 2 in. ignitrons were found to be as low as 0.25 mu s and 0.06 mu s, respectively. (auth)
