Solution with return rods displaced by 20 mm

• Return rod displaced by 20 mm• Araldite insulation of RR• Modified top insulator – upper tube

included• Reduced diameter of 4 upper HV

deflectors and full insulation by araldite• HV contact insulated by araldite• Modified 4 top snubber capacitors –

araldite tube around instead of HV deflectors

Solution with return rods displaced by 20 mm

Time plan

• Drawing of machining plans ~ 2 weeks• Procurement of raw material for 3 switches ~ 2 months • Machinning ~ 4 weeks• Assembly ~ 3 days • Test of single stack in HV case up to 40 kV ~ 1 week• Test inside generator ~ 6 months
