Performance of opening and closing switches for pulsed-power networks
thesis
posted on 2018-10-30, 12:16 authored by Ebrahim MirshamsiThis thesis describes a study into the performance of both
opening and closing switches, as used in pulsed-power
networks. It also discusses the important energy storage and
compression techniques that are used in the generation of
high-energy pulsed power. Various different types of switches
are involved in these applications, and particular
consideration is paid to the performance of the MESS (Magnetic Energy Switching System) switch, used both in
isolation and as part of a pulse-forming network. Exploding
wires and foils are also investigated in some detail, since
important features from the action of these are present in
most opening switches. [Continues.]
