Repetitive Series Interrupter II.
Abstract
Work has continued under the RSI II Program with the emphasis of the research effort being placed on restrike elimination, an investigation of the nature and effects of both the steady-state and instantaneous tube drops, the design, fabrication and testing of the first member of a family of 50 kV interrupters, a theoretical and experimental study of the effects of self-interruption and interruption time, and an investigation of RSI triggering characteristics including the effects of keep-alive discharges. Restrike has been substantially eliminated. Forward tube drops of the order of two percent of the peak forward operating voltage of the RSI have been demonstrated as being reasonable, and have in fact been achieved in practice.
