Abstract :
This paper reports on the design and modelling of an experimental test stand developed to examine the performance of a flowing high-pressure liquid dielectric design verification switch under rep-rate conditions. The test stand is designed to generate 70 ns long, 250-300 kV pulses at 250 J per pulse and 100 pps continuous mode operation. Short-duration bursts at 1000 pps will be used to examine switch recovery characteristics.
