Operational window for a plasma erosion opening switch used for voltage multiplication on pulsed power generators. Memorandum report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5131438
The Plasma Erosion Opening Switch (PEOS) is a fast opening switch which has been shown to be capable of conducting megampere-level currents before opening in <10 ns. Such a switch can be used for inductive storage in order to compress the output from conventional pulsed power generators in order to achieve voltage and power multiplication. An operational window is described herein which illustrates the voltage regime made accessible for a given machine by the switch.
