Additional information

Describes research carried out in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories (US Dept. of Energy) [Dr Jane Lehr, jmlehr@unm.edu]. Analysis of corona emission showed that voltage distribution across a multi-gap closing switch was controllable by altering the corona emission characteristics of the electrodes. This unique approach was validated when robust voltage grading and predictable self-breakdown voltages were observed in a demonstration switch. Gap voltage control improves overall switch operation, which is critical when using multiple switches in pulsed power machines such as Linear Transformer Drivers.
