Abstract
In a present pulsed power generator system using semiconductor switches, saturable magnetic switches are usually connected in series to compress the output pulse because the current rise-time of semiconductor switches are generally not short enough, However, the magnetic switches are heavy and they reduce the energy transfer efficiency. So we propose a pulsed power generator system using a 5500-V static induction thyristor (SI-Thy), a Blumlein line for pulse formation, and a step-up pulse transformer. The fundamental characteristics of the generator are evaluated. From experiments using only one SI-Thy, turn-on time of several tens of nanoseconds and the maximum rise rate of the output voltage of 115-kV//spl mu/s are obtained. It is confirmed that an SI-Thy will have sufficient performance as a main switch of the pulsed power generator for the flue gas treatment and decomposition of hazardous gases when several SI-Thys are connected in series.
