“…Then the thyratrons can be used in the advanced complex electrophysical systems where the parallel operation of the devices onto a common load is required. An illustrative example is the use of thyratrons TPI1-10k/50 in the inductive linear accelerator LIU-2 [95][96][97]. Due to the parallel switching of 96 devices, the output voltage at the accelerating gap can reach 2.5 MV.…”

The review relates to low-pressure discharges with a hollow cathode and a hollow anode. The term ‘low pressure’ implies that a neutral particle density is extremely small and the electron free path for ionization is in excess of the characteristic size for the discharge gap. On the other hand, the neutral particles still play an essential role in forming the gas-discharge plasma. Thus, the discharge regimes keep an intermediate position between the classical low-pressure discharge with avalanche ionization and pure vacuum discharge that burns in the cathode metal vapor. New approaches to the interpretation of the discharge formation mechanism at the stage of delay time to breakdown, and for the discharge sustaining features at the later temporal stages, are discussed. The developed approaches offer the possibility of interpreting the discharge behavior in the systems to obtain a uniform plasma in a large volume of the cathode or anode cavity, in the sources of electron and ion beams based on the plasma cathode and in the high-current pseudospark switches.

“…Often, a pulse voltage generator is built based on a thyratron, [1] -a tube triode with a specific dynamic characteristic -in the thyratron, from the moment of ignition, the anode current avalanche-like reaches the saturation current value and then does not depend on the voltage on the grid, [2], [3]. Compared to semi-conductor switches, a thyratron has advantages: the absence of leakage currents in a non-conducting state, and an extremely short recovery time for the electrical strength of the switch after switching pulse power (units of microseconds), [4].…”

The issues of developing the computer model of a thyratron - an electronic tube triode operating in a switching mode - are considered. A detailed description of the composition of the model is given. The computer model of a single-grid thyratron was developed in the form of a hierarchical block by means of OrCAD. The test circuit for the computer model of a thyratron is suggested. The simulation results of the test circuit operation including a thyratron model are presented (simulated currents and voltages, dynamic characteristics of the thyratron - anode current as a function of the grid voltage). The computer model demonstrated adequacy to the product data sheet.

“…TPI-type or Hollow Cathode Thyratrons [18][19][20] operate mainly with superdense glow, which propagates by sub-light ionization waves at non-local processes in gases. They are used for pulse switching of charge up to tenth of Coulomb in pulse power supplies at pulse repetition rate up to 100 kHz and pulse width from some nanoseconds to tens microseconds.…”
