Abstract
After a short review of the state of the art in superconducting and conventional switch technology, the experimental results for a resistive superconducting switch are described. All components of the experiment were designed and constructed after the requirements of the high voltage technique. Fibreglass reinforced epoxy manufactured by different techniques was the preferred insulation material. For fast-current induced triggering of large wire switches, a useful solution is given. The switching process was investigated and compared with an existing theory. The rapid increase of the hot spot temperature of the high resistive switch material could be controlled. Some unexpected properties concerning the stability and quench propagation of the superconducting cable use are described and an attempt is made to give an explanation.
