Self-breakdown stability of gas switch based on high-energy runaway electron mechanism
To achieve precise control of the main triggered switch of the pulsed power source, a triggered gas switch based on the principle of corona stabilization was developed. The process of stabilized corona discharge and the influence of high-energy runaway electrons on the stability of breakdown were analyzed. This study also revealed the mechanism by which suppressing high-energy runaway electrons was beneficial in increasing the stability of gas switch self-breakdown. The experimental study was carried out from the perspectives of gas medium and E-field conditions, and the self-breakdown stability of the gas switch was compared. The self-breakdown dispersion of the gas switch filled with 15% SF6/N2 mixed gas was no more than 6% within the pressure of 0.06 MPa to 0.56 MPa, while the lowest value was 1.4%. The self-breakdown voltage dispersion remained within the range of 2%-4% when the electrically negative gas content in the SF6/N2 mixed gas was less than 30%. Within the charging voltage range of less than
