Abstract

A modular plasma based double gap pseudospark discharge switch has been designed and developed at CSIR-CEERI Pilani with an intention of generating repetitive pulsed power source. Operation of the developed pseudospark switch is comparable to that of commercially available thyratron switches in the range of typically 50 kV and up to 15 kA. A peak discharge current up to 10 kA has been achieved through a resistive load from the switching of the developed demountable double gap pseudospark at a breakdown voltage of about 40 kV.
