Abstract

We studied the process of switching a short vacuum gap, initiated by an auxiliary discharge along the surface of the dielectric by registration images using an electro–optical system. Based on the analysis of the results, it was suggested that the emission of radiation and electrons from the cathode torch plays a significant role in the formation of the current channel in the discharge, which has been experimentally confirmed.
