Abstract

Simple circuit models for the terminal properties of a ferromagnetic closing switch are derived under the assumptions that the ferromagnetic material may be described by a hysteresis profile and that the driving H-field quickly becomes large. Comparison with results from a full transmission line model indicates that all but the simplest of these approximate models is extremely accurate for a realistic switch.
