Abstract

A TVS(triggered vacuum switch) use in high-power, high-current, and high-frequency conversion and switching circuits. The TVS has a six-gap trapezoidal rod electrode system. The electrode system consists of three cathode and anode rods which are made with OFHC. The trigger unit of the TVS is located at the cathode base center. To obtain a wide variety of characteristics this paper describes the results of tests.
