Mechanism of Triggering for the Pseudospark Switch with a Trigger Unit Based on Surface Discharge

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Data on study of the pseudospark switch with the trigger unit based on the pulsed discharge over ceramic surface with a trigger voltage at a level of 3 kV and an anode voltage of 20 kV and are presented. The features of the surface discharge and the process of the discharge initiation and sustaining in the high-voltage gap are investigated. The total delay time to trigger the switch with respect to the instant of arrival of the trigger pulse can be changed in a range 40–60 ns. However, in all cases the nanosecond jitter in triggering is provided.
