An Air Gap For a High-Current Energy Source Based on a Capacitive Storage with an Operating Voltage of 5 kV

This paper describes an air gap that switches one of the sections of capacitive storage, which consists of 234 K41I-7 capacitors (5 kV, 23.4 mF). The arrester is launched from a special plasma initiator. The design of the arrester used elements that allow a large electric charge to pass with the abi...

Description
Summary:This paper describes an air gap that switches one of the sections of capacitive storage, which consists of 234 K41I-7 capacitors (5 kV, 23.4 mF). The arrester is launched from a special plasma initiator. The design of the arrester used elements that allow a large electric charge to pass with the ability for subsequent rapid replacement. The response time delay of the arrester is ~20 μs with instability of the response time of the order of 10 μs. This air gap was used to switch a capacitive storage device consisting of 160 K75-100 capacitors (176 mF, 6 kV).
