Experimental investigation of a magnetic gate as a multimegampere, vacuum opening switch

We report on the first experiments to demonstrate the vacuum operation of a magnetic gate opening switch. Currents greater than 1 MA have been transferred in approximately 1 μs. A model has been developed to describe the switch’s operation. The model and the experimental data are in excellent agreem...

Zusammenfassung:	We report on the first experiments to demonstrate the vacuum operation of a magnetic gate opening switch. Currents greater than 1 MA have been transferred in approximately 1 μs. A model has been developed to describe the switch’s operation. The model and the experimental data are in excellent agreement.
