Multichannel gas spark switch applying plasma synthesis jet trigger technology

2013 
The invention discloses a multichannel gas spark switch applying a plasma synthesis jet trigger technology. The multichannel gas spark switch is characterized in that the spark gap of an air switch is divided by a middle trigger electrode into two equal parts; the trigger electrode is composed of three portions, i.e., an upper electrode disc, a lower electrode disc and an insulation ring; more than one excitation cavities and jet orifices are embedded into the insulation ring for generating at one side of the trigger electrode multichannel plasma injection; and the surface of an electrode portion at the other side is provided with an annular metal protrusion for forming multichannel discharge in the relative spark gap. A switch housing is made of organic glass or other insulation materials, so that when a trigger pulse reaches the trigger electrode, a higher field distortion coefficient is formed at the side of the annular electrode portion, and at the same time the multichannel plasma injection is formed at the other side, thus the spark inductance of the air switch is reduced, the electrode ablation is minimized, and the service life of the switch is prolonged.
