Abstract–

An experimental stand for studying the effect of synchronous gas injection on high-current arc quenching is described, and results obtained with it are presented. An electrodischarge experimental setup for simulating the process of high-pressure cold gas injection into the arcing region at a certain instant in time is part of this stand. A capacitor bank with a capacitance of 38 mF, as well as various measurement and diagnostic systems, are included in the stand. Experiments have been carried out with arcs at a current amplitude of 3–25 kA, a current half-period duration of 10 ms, and a capacitor-bank charging voltage of 0.8–4.5 kV.
