PULSED POWER

       For special requirements, ABB has optimized some components for use in Pulsed Power Applications.These components are designed for very high di/dt switching and fast turn-on in combination with veryhigh current capability and high voltage. Most of them include special driver units.
       The products shown in this overview are examples of our Pulsed Power products. Besides the compo-nents listed below, we continue to design and produce optimized components and switches, which willmeet the requirements of future markets.To support our customers, we design and produce complete switch assemblies, which include thesemiconductors, driving, triggering, clamping, cooling and testing.
        ABB has a long experience in Pulsed Power applications worldwide, working closely with other leadingcompanies and organizations in this field.
        Our optimized components, mostly complete switch assemblies, have been used for years as dischargeswitches under repetitive conditions and are superior to electronic tubes, in terms of environmentalcompatibility and lifetime.
