ABSTRACT A high voltage switching system switches large load currents in short periods. Gas is contained within an envelope at a pressure of the order of magnitude of at least 0.1 atmos- phere. The gas provides a relatively high electron drift vel- ocity at a relatively low electric field strength. A pair of electrodes are spaced apart within the envelope and are con- nected to respective switch terminals for connecting to a load. The voltage gradient between the electrodes so spaced is insuf- ficient at rated voltage to produce any substantial secondary ionization. The gas is ionized by a beam of high energy elec- trons introduced into the gas through the envelope. Means is provided for turning the beam on and off, thereby closing and opening the current path through the gas and effecting the switching of current through the load.
