Abstract
Electric circuits of high-power switches based on assemblies of diodes that are connected in series to reverse switch-on dynistors (RSDs) are considered. They allow RSDs to be efficiently used in the modes of switching high-power weakly decaying current pulses, which were previously impossible because of high energy losses in dynistors during the reverse-current flow. The results of a comparative study of high-voltage (24 kV) diode-dynistor switches under the conditions of switching current pulses with an amplitude of 50 kA and a damping decrement of 1.3 are presented. The possibility of increasing the switched power is shown.
