Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a pulse steepening device for a pulse power device, in particular to a pulse steepening device for a high-voltage trigger source. BACKGROUND

[0002] A high-power gas switch is a key component for controlling the release of electrical energy in a pulse power device. In order to achieve stable and controlled conduction of the gas switch, a high-amplitude and fast-front trigger electric pulse generated by a high-voltage trigger source is needed to trigger the gas switch. The commonly used high-voltage trigger sources include Marx generator type trigger sources and pulse transformer type trigger sources. Although these two types of trigger sources can generate high-amplitude trigger electric pulses, the front of the generated trigger electric pulse is relatively slow, which is not conducive to low jitter and stable triggering conduction of the gas switch.

[0003] In order to obtain a high-amplitude and fast-front trigger electric pulse, a common solution is to add a pulse steepening device at the back end of the high-voltage trigger source. Li Dengyun et al. introduced a "pulse steepening device" in the article "Steepening of Output Pulse of 100kV Trigger" (High Voltage Technology, June 2008, Vol. 34, No. 06, pp. 1255-1260). By adding a steepening capacitor and a gas steepening switch at the output end of the trigger source, the front of the 90kV electric pulse is reduced from 20ns to 2.3ns. Liu Yi et al. in the article "Resonant Charging Characteristics of Core Type Pulse Transformer" (Proceedings of the CSEE, January 2012, Vol. 32, No. 1, pp. 0186-0192), by adding a steepening capacitor and a three-electrode self-triggering type steepening switch at the back end of the pulse transformer type high-voltage trigger source, a trigger electric pulse with a voltage peak of 123kV and a pulse front of about 23ns can be generated after steepening. The above two pulse steepening devices can effectively shorten the front of the electric pulse, but have the following shortcomings: 1. The above two pulse steepening devices are limited by the working voltage and withstand voltage level of the steepening capacitor and the steepening switch, so that the device can only output a trigger pulse of about one hundred kilovolts, which is difficult to apply to high-voltage trigger sources of several hundred kilovolts; 2. The above two devices use a single steepening capacitor, without using multiple steepening capacitors in parallel, so that the inductance of the steepening capacitor itself is large, and the overall structure of the device is loose, which is not conducive to the generation of fast-front trigger electric pulses.
