Development tests of a 6 mv, multistage gas switch for PBFA II

Creators

  • 1. Sandia National Lab., Albuquerque, NM

Description

A high voltage, SF6 insulated gas switch is being developed for PBFA II. Self-breakdown test results from an 18-stage switch are presented. This switch gives low jitter and low prefire at voltages up to the maximum test limit of 5.8 mv. Above 4 mv, insulator tracking and flashover become a problem with the present design and remedies are being evaluated
