Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. The research of hollow cathodes neutralizer functioning in structure of thruster with low power is considered. The effective combined power supply, ensuring stable start and reliable operation of neutralizer, with work power in 40 W and flow 0.5 A, in current units is developed. Parameters of neutralizer ensuring work in a specific range of flows, pressure and power, are discussed.
