Abstract

A current collector with a solid-state discharger for 268 input and the same number of outgoing RK-50-9 RF cables from a high-voltage capacitive storage to the load is described. The spark discharger is started using a special initiator. The discharger design has a number of elements that reduce the self-inductance of the spark gap to 50 nH and increases the reliability of its operation via partitioning of cables (switching is performed by forming plasma contacts simultaneously at six points). The delay time of the discharger response is ~5.5 μs with an operation-time instability of approximately 500 ns.
