Abstract:

A common field distortion triggered spark gap utilizing geometric field enhancement at sharp edges usury operates in a cascade mode via the trigger electrode. A new trigger concept is propos this research allowing strong non-uniform electric field enhancement with output precision voltage by holding-off DC voltage ranging from 1 to 135 kV and direct breakdown between the two main electrodes. A test setup was designed to testing with four modes of operation as mode A, B, C and D to prove the feasibility on this concept. Were result experimental r the recommended mode of operation is mode A and mode D considered to be unsatisfied to most applications. The best results achieved by using the triggering with mode A at a wide precision designed breakdown voltage range 1-120kV with a minimum percentage ratio of Fire/Self-fire Voltage lower to 36-47%
