The research for the triggered vacuum switch which made of a copper electrode

The triggered vacuum switch(TVS) is a one of the important component in consisiting high power control systems(HPCS). The operating condition is depended on material, geometry, operating power and so on. Our research is focused on the effects of thses basic properties and ptimized condition, because these are critical conditons in understanding the TVS operation. Our experiment is accomplished with a copper electrode and a tungsten trigger pin after being assembled into a vacuum chamber. The operating voltage in our system is more than dozens of kV at the 5kV trigger pulse. Our goal is up to 300kJ, therefore the currents should be more optimized in additional experiments,
