Description

Regimes and phases of operation of plasma-erosion current breaker are experimentally investigated. Plasma with 103-1016 cm-3 density is produced due to surface breakdown of dielectrics or explosive emission of electrons on graphite. Investigation results are characterized by low breaking current (20-40 kA), potential operation at higher currents. The breaker fast-response permitted to obtain 12-13 ns voltage pulses with inductive accumulation of energy
