The purpose of the work described in this paper is to develope vacuum gap switch systems which has a high operation voltage or a large current capacity.
By the series or parallel operation of the swiches the intentions can be achieved. These operations are possible by a special design of trigger electrode and triggering circuit.
By series operation of two switches about twice operation voltage of one's is realized without failing the triggering characteristics. The parallel operation can be also easily made by this method.
