Model S33A Compact High Voltage Switch

The Model S33A is a compact high voltage switch for low repetition rate pulsed power systems. It can be used to replace Thyratron as well as gas and vacuum triggered spark gap switches in high voltage applications such as Marx generators and pulsed magnet drivers. The model S33A can handle 40kA/μs, 14kA peak, damped-oscillating currents.

This solid state switch consists of multiple series connected thyristors specifically designed for high di/dt, high voltage, pulsed power applications. The trigger can be either a single low voltage electrical or a standard fiberoptic trigger, making triggering much easier than for Thyratron or triggered spark gap switches.
