Abstract

Series opening switches have substantial advantages over crowbars in protecting RF amplifiers such as klystrons, TWTs, and gyrotrons. Diversified Technologies, Inc. has developed and delivered many solid-state opening switches using series arrays of insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). The opening switch described here is part of a complete klystron power-supply system for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory.
