“…The corona trigger electrodes were driven by a generator formed by a capacitor of 27 pF, DC charged from 4 to 10 kV and switched by a co-axial, low-inductance, self-triggered spark gap [7], which is capable of operating at high repetition rate (1 kHz). The very low energy transferred through it (roughly 1.5 mJ per shot at 10 kV), produces negligible erosion of the electrodes.…”

A high-voltage gaseous-switch triggering method based on a capacitively coupled (pulsed corona) discharge is described. The method enables the single closure discharges of the switch to be distributed over a large area of the electrodes' surface, yielding a relatively low erosion rate. Therefore, long-lifetime operation of the switch without maintenance is obtained. The switch was tested by discharging a 7.5 nF capacitor at repetition frequencies up to 50 Hz. The maximum voltage was 17 kV with a current peak of about 6 kA.

Results of a detailed parametric study of a self-switched mutually inductively coupled high voltage parallel spark preionizer are presented. The maximal behavior exhibited by the breakdown voltage of the parallel gaps with respect to the number of mutually coupled turns has been explained. It has been found that there exists a threshold rise time of the current pulse beyond which simultaneous closure of the parallel gaps is not possible and that this threshold value is independent of the nature and geometry of the cores used for the mutual coupling. The degree of simultaneity of the closure of the self-switched parallel gaps matched that of the conventional operation of such gaps.
