Example Embodiment

[0039] Embodiment one of the present invention:

[0040] The high-power xenon lamp platform needs to discharge the pulse capacitor to pump energy for the flash lamp. The main discharge switch generally adopts a two-electrode graphite gas switch, such as the Shenguang 3 energy system. The two-electrode gas switch has an operating voltage of 23.5kV and a peak current of 240kA. The amount of transferred charge is 70C, the initial working pressure of the switch is 6.5bar, the leading edge of the trigger pulse is 25ns, and the peak value is 120kV. Its application circuit diagram is as follows image 3 shown. The main discharge switch is subject to strong ablation during the discharge period. After a certain number of discharges, the air pressure of the main switch is adjusted to reduce the pulse breakdown amplitude of the switch. By adding the device of the present invention, the pulse breakdown voltage amplitude of the switch under the condition of 1-2bar can be reduced by about...

[0042] Under the condition of pulsed xenon lamp load, in order to ensure the uniform distribution of the current of each xenon lamp, a forced current sharing scheme is adopted, which is realized by dividing each discharge parameter into each xenon lamp circuit, such as the Shenguang-2 energy system commonly used at present. The discharge switch still adopts the two-electrode graphite gas switch, but the main switch adopts the scheme of grounding at one end. The specific connection method is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the working voltage of the main switch is 23.5kV, the peak current is 170kA, the single transfer charge is: 35C, the trigger pulse amplitude is 100kV, the leading edge is 15ns, the initial air pressure of the switch is 6.5bar, and the switch can be reliable by adjusting the air pressure after a certain number of transfers. breakdown. By adding the device of the present invention, the pulse breakdown voltage amplitude of the switch un...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gas switch technology in a pulse current generator and its application field, in particular to a circuit and a method for prolonging the service life of a two-electrode gas switch. Background technique [0002] The two-electrode gas switch has the obvious advantages of conducting large current and large coulomb transfer volume. Compared with other forms of gas switches, the advantage of the two-electrode gas switch is that the electrode ablation is more uniform, so the service life is more under the same conditions. The two-electrode gas switch is mainly used for xenon lamp driving power supply of high-power solid-state neodymium glass laser, lightning current generator, and various high-current generators. [0003] Due to the two-electrode structure, the conduction process of the switch is achieved through a negative pulse overvoltage breakdown with a faster leading edge and an amplitude much higher than the self-breakdown v...
