Design of a Compact 1-MV-Class Radial Closing Switch for Tesla Type Generator
The paper presents the development of a megavolt-class SF6-insulated radial switch.The switch is used as a crowbar in a MV Tesla-type generator to produce pulsed electric fields in very large volumes, for proof-of-concept experimentation of a novel non-invasive food processing technology.The main features of the switch include: (1) Using SF6 gas as
