A 100 KV SWITCH FOR RAPID DISCHARGE OF HIGH ENERGY CAPACITATORS
A pressurized, low inductance switch (250 nh) operating between 40 and 100 kv and up to 30 ka for discharging low inductance capacitors is described. The breakdown time of the switch is about 60 nsec, with a jitter of less than 20 nsec. (auth)
