ABSTRACT:
An RLC triggering circuit employs an inductance coupled to the trigger electrode of a triggered vacuum gap device. A capacitance and a switch are coupled in series with the inductance. A diode in parallel with the series-coupled capacitance and switch serves to provide a long, unidirectional current pulse to prevent the triggered vacuum gap from chopping current and generating dangerous surge voltages.
