    The ion source and electron gyrotron of the fusion auxiliary heating system are prone to failure and expensive. To protect them, it is necessary to study the high voltage switch scheme. The parameter design methods of high voltage protection switch snubber circuit are lack of relevant theoretical design methods currently, and the snubber circuit schemes are isoparametric design schemes because the influence of distributed capacitance is not taken into account in the design process. The voltage-balancing effect of this method is not ideal. To solve the problems existing in the current parameter design, we have established the MOSFET model with snubber circuit and stray inductor and analyze its turn-off process, thus to obtain the theoretical design method and expression of snubber circuit for suppressing voltage spike. Taking the distributed capacitance into consideration in series voltage-balancing and constructing the isoelectric point, we have established and analyzed the equivalent circuit, and obtained the non-equal parameter design method and expression of snubber circuit according to the charge equation. This parameter design method can compensate the uneven voltage distribution caused by distributed capacitance and guide the voltage-balancing scheme design of high voltage protection switch better. To verify the rationality of the parameter design, we have a carried out, simulation analysis. which shows that the overall design scheme can meet the design requirements of peak suppression and voltage-balancing.
