In high-voltage systems such as in pulse power, commonly used semiconductor devices cannot be applied to the generation part of high-voltage pulse. However, unlike semiconductor, the magnetic switch cannot control its own ON and OFF operation. Moreover, with the magnetic switch the system efficiency goes down with load variation, and arcs caused by saturation of the energy in reactor have a negati... View full abstract»
