Abstract
Results of experimental tests of the possibility of using cylindrical diodes in the self-magnetic insulation mode as an equivalent load with a stable impedance of about units of ohms at voltages below 450 kV are given. The diode with a radial size of ∼10 cm and an interelectrode gap of ∼1.5 cm demonstrated a stable resistance of ∼3 Ω within ∼200 ns. The analyzed results show that the current of the self-magnetic insulation in the diode is determined by the limiting current.
