THE CONTROL FEATURES OF THE GAS DISCHARGE TUBE WITH PLASMA ELECTRON EMITTER
Main Article Content
Abstract
The physical and technical control features of the high-voltage gas-discharge low-pressure switch tube with an electron emitter, formed by the plasma surface of starting discharge, are considered. The discharge of magnetron type was maintained in a cold cathode cavity of the trioplazmatron tube, and the plasma electron emitter was formed in openings of the screen, separating the cathode cavity and an anode. The use of the cathode screen and two-level pulses applied to a control electrode, disposed in the cathode cavity, reduced the control power as compared to tubes without the screen and allowed to use the screen with low electrical penetration to accelerate the recovery of hold-off voltage of the trioplazmatron.
