Low-pressure gas-discharge current interrupters in a generator of high-voltage nanosecond pulses with an inductive energy storage

Аннотация

Designs of grid units with slotted and multiple-aperture configurations of holes that allow an increase in the stability of the current-cutoff process and a reduction in the time to turn the device off in a high-voltage pulse generator with an inductive energy storage were created. Compared to a TGI2-500/20 thyratron, these designs made it possible to reduce the time instability of the instant of the current interruption by factors of 2 and 5 for switches with the multiple-aperture and slotted configurations of the grids, respectively. These constructions allowed the minimum time for disabling a device to be reduced by 25%.
