  • Abstract
    The recovery capacities of a triggered vacuum switch after the crossing of a 25-μs high-current pulse were investigated. The recovery time is less than 100 μs. An experiment was conducted with several electrodes with different gaps, and the influence of an axial magnetic field on the switch was studied. A diffuse arc mode was achieved, making possible a commutation power as high as 109 VA
