ABSTRACT:
Disclosure is made of a low-inductance (L = 0.5 to 3 mH) controlled discharger for commutating megampere currents, having a maximum controllability range with respect to voltage, and a small operation lag. The low inductance and high transmitting capacity are due to the formation by a creeping discharge of a multichannel (from 10 to 40 channels) breakdown over the surface of a thin-layer dielectric element. Two main electrodes and one control electrode placed therebetween are arranged on one side of a dielectric element of a flat or cylindrical shape, whose reverse side has a current-conducting layer. The multichannel discharge accounts for small electrode erosion and, in combination with the gas-generating properties of the dielectric, ensures multiple operation of the discharger.
