摘要
A review of the first experiments with the GIT-4 generator is given. GIT-4 is based on the results obtained previously on Gamma (1985) and Marina (1986) generators [1], and has operated at the High Current Electronics Institute in Tomsk since December 1986. GIT-4 is designed to test the concept of a terawatt pulsed-power generator based on the direct charging of an inductive storage from a Marx primary store using a plasma-opening switch (POS) at currents up to several MA. Such generators need a POS with essentially microsecond conduction times that are widely investigated at present [2], as well as the POS with nanosecond conduction time [3]. In the experiments reviewed, output power up to 2.5 TW in the POS region was obtained at current levels up to 1 MA. © 1990 IEEE
