A High-Power Fast-Response Switch-Testing System

Abstract

A high-power, versatile switch-testing system, presently in operation at NSWC Dahlgren, is described. The switch, along with a liquid-dielectric PFL, a liquid load, a voltage probe, and a current probe are mated in a low-inductance configuration. This arrangement allows the evaluation of switch performance on a nanosecond time scale.
