The electric fields of the gap are calculated when locating trigger-electrode at different positions. It is shown that if the distance d between the trigger electrode and the low electric potential electrode is greater than 1.3 mm, the maximum field intensity occurs at the edge of the trigger-electrode, which will facilitate the generation of multi-channel discharge. According to calculated results, the working characteristics of the gap is investigated and it shows that when d=1.4 mm the field distortion gap can be triggered reliably.展开更多

文摘The optimal axial position of the trigger-electrode of the field-distortion spark gap is investigated through electric field calculation.
