High Voltage Solid-State Switch for Magnetron Driving

Eagle Harbor Technologies, Inc. (EHT) is developing a 35-kV solid-state switch that can be utilized for driving magnetrons. This 35-kV solid-state switch will be packaged into a driver for a pulsed magnetron at the Lithium Tokamak Experiment (LTX) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. This system will be delivered to LTX for testing the Year 2 of the Phase II program, where it will remain at the completion of the Phase II program. EHT will present high voltage switch results, including voltage sharing, fault mitigation, and resistive load driving. On the road to 35 kV, EHT has developed a 10-kV switch that has been packaged and commercialized. Results from the lower voltage switch will also be presented.
