Free microparticles—An inducing mechanism of pre-firing in high pressure gas switches for fast linear transformer drivers

Abstract: Microparticle initiated pre-firing of high pressure gas switches for fast linear transformer drivers (FLTDs) is experimentally and theoretically verified. First, a dual-electrode gas switch equipped with poly-methyl methacrylate baffles is used to capture and collect the microparticles. By analyzing the electrode surfaces and the collecting baffles by a laser scanning confocal microscope, microparticles ranging in size from tens of micrometers to over 100 μm are observed under the typical working conditions of… Show more

“…Most microparticles produced by electrode erosion often range from less than 1 μm to dozens of microns in size, and are spherical in shape [6,25]. Under certain conditions, these microparticles will leave the electrode surface and carry a certain amount of charge.…”

“…Breakdown phenomena that are triggered by microparticles in gas and vacuum insulation are widely reported both numerically and experimentally [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Understanding these phenomena is important for many prospective gas-switch applications, including those in pulsed-power technology [10,11], electrical insulation equipment [4,5], and medical science [12].…”
