Aspects of Ultrafast Spark Gap Switching
J.M. Lehr, C.E. Baum, W.D. Prather and F.J. Agee High Energy Sources Division, Phillips Laboratory Kirtland AFB, New Mexico 87117 The Air Force is interested in compact ultra-wideband systems which utilize a minimum volume of high pressure gas. These desires lead us to look closely at single channel spark gaps, because both the size and volume of gas, for example, hydrogen, under pressure can b...
متن کاملThe Study of Breakdown Voltages for Triggered Spark Gap Switches
This study explains the breakdown mechanism in different triggered spark gap switches. Two different trigger electrode configurations are tested for the switch predischarge operation in a nitrogen laser circuit. The behavior of the breakdown voltage, when a trigger pulse is applied to the trigger electrode, is investigated, and the results are reported. Based on the experimental measurements ne...
متن کاملElectrode Erosion in a High Energy Spark Gap*
The erosion rates for hemispherical electrodes, 2.5 em in diameter, made of graphite, copper-graphite, brass, two types of copper-tungsten, and three types of stainless steel have been examined in a spark gap filled with air or nitrogen at one atmosphere. The electrodes were subjected to 50,000 unipolar pulses (25 )ls, 4-25 kA, 5-30 kV, 0.1-0.6 Coul/shot) at repetition rates ranging from 0.5 to...
متن کاملHigh Pressure Spark Gap Recovery after Overvolted Breakdown
A spark gap at pressures from 100 kPa to 7 MPa with various gases is fired by overvolting the electodes. The recovery of the gap is studied using a second identical pulse to test the voltage holdoff during the recovery period. A TV camera, interferometer and a spinning mirror camera are also used to record arc locations and density profiles. The gas is stationary during the recovery. Breakdown ...
متن کاملFast Trigger Generator for High Coulomb Spark Gap Switching Synchronisation
Design and implementation of a 10kV subnanosecond pulse generator using Trigatron type spark gap as a switch. Straightforward and compact trigger generator using pulse shaping network which produces a trigger pulse of subnanosecond rise time. A pulse power system requires delivering a high voltage, high coulomb in short rise time. This is achieved by using pulse shaping network comprises of par...
