The invention relates to a method and
system for detecting the vacuum degree of a
vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber based on a high-frequency
electron multiplication method, and the method comprises the following steps: constructing a
vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber model, and determining the
voltage and frequency of an external high-frequency power supply through the motion law of charged particles, the high-frequency pre-breakdown characteristics of the
vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber and a secondary
electron multiplication theory; a high-frequency power supply meeting the parameters is added to the two ends of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, and after discharging occurs in the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, the magnitude of
ion current generated by positive
ion directional movement is obtained through detection; adjusting the
vacuum pressure in the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, and constructing a relation curve between the
ion current and the vacuum degree of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber; a high-frequency power supply is applied to the two ends of the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber to be measured, when
discharge is generated in the vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, the
ion current is detected, and the vacuum degree is obtained by comparing the
calibration curve. Compared with the prior art, the method has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, less interference, high reliability and the like.
