For special requirements, ABB is producing optimized components for use in Pulsed Power applications. These components are designed for very high di/dt switching, fast turn-on in combination with very high current capability and high voltages, and most of them are integrated with driver unit which are optimized for pulsed applications.
The products shown in the overview are some examples of our capabilities in the ABB Pulsed Power Department, and to support our customers we design and produce complete ready-to-use solid state switches as power blocks which include the semiconductor devices, driving units, trigger circuit, power supply, mechanical clamping, heatsinks and the testing.
Our special components and complete solid state switches have been used for years in single pulse discharge applications as well as under repetitive conditions, and get more and more accepted as a reliable and competitive solution to replace thyratrons and ignitrons.
ABB is in the position to offer feasibility studies, designs, production and testing for Pulsed Power applications based on a long term world wide experience in various applications.
