Dynamic behavior of a resistive transfer circuit with a superconducting switch

For development of components of the pulsed coils for fusion reactors a resistive transfer circuit with a superconducting switch was tested up to 12kV and 6MW pulse power. Investigations of the transfer process led to results which can be explained by using an equivalent circuit. In this circuit the transition process to the normal state of the conductor was taken into account as well as the self-inductance of the switch. The influences of self-capacitance, the capacitane to earth and the trigger capacitors were investigated
