Commutating equipment of the low-inductance high-voltage capacitive storage module

Summary form only given, as follows. High-power capacitive storages of energy with the purpose of increasing for reliability of their work are usually created by a modular principle, however at the connection of modules to united low-inductance load the requirements to their synchronization considerably become stronger. In the present report the results of development of the switching equipment for 100 eV 112 kJ capacitive storage standard module are informed which earlier worked with two one-channel solid-state switches and corresponding systems of firing. The new switching equipment consists of a linear gas cascade switch with distortion of electrical field, which is well combined with a flat current-conducting line of the module with width of 1 m, eight-channel 100 eV generator of igniting pulses ensuring multispark work of the linear switch and single-channel thyratron generator for triggering of the gas switch of the multichannel generator. In the given report the detailed characteristics of the indicated elements of the equipment, ensuring high capacity for work of the module as a whole are reported. The research has shown, that controllability of the module in all range of changing of charge voltage up to 100 kW with a delay of switch triggering less than 100 ns is ensured by some characteristics corresponding to various pressure values and compositions of gas working mixtures.
