Abstract

The invention relates to an ignition method of a plasma hall thruster, which belongs to the field of control on hall thrusters and aims to solve the problem that an existing hall thruster needs to be ignited by an extra ignition power supply. The method disclosed by the invention is characterized by adding an ignition loop into a low-frequency oscillation suppression outside loop to replace an ignition power supply U3, wherein the ignition loop comprises a controllable switch S1 and a diode unit D1. The method comprises the following steps: (1) heating a power supply U2 so as to heat a cathode K to the ignition temperature, (2) controlling to close the controllable switch S1 and keeping for the time T1, and (3) controlling to open the controllable switch S1, and loading an anode A and the cathode K of the hall thruster with ignition voltage U(t) which is equal to U1+UL(t), wherein when electrons which are guided out of an outlet area of the cathode by the ignition voltage U(t) satisfy discharge voltage, the ignition of the hall thruster is completed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an ignition method and belongs to the field of Hall thruster control. Background technique [0002] Plasma Hall thruster is a kind of thrust device that converts electric energy into kinetic energy of working medium by using the electric field and magnetic field perpendicular to each other. It is the most widely used electric thruster in space propulsion. The traditional Hall thruster has anode A, cathode K, outer coil, inner coil and additional coil, as well as outer coil excitation power E1, inner coil excitation power E2 and additional coil excitation power E3, using the unique discharge of the Hall thruster The structure completes the ignition operation. The unique discharge structure includes a low-frequency oscillation suppression outer loop, a discharge power supply U1, a heating power supply U2, and an ignition power supply U3. The low-frequency oscillation suppression outer loop is composed of a filter inductor L1 and ...
