Triggered vacuum switch(TVS) is one of the important switch apparatuses in the pulsed power technology.Its switching-on is due to the trigger process of trigger pin
and the trigger of field-breakdown TVS is due to the field emission.So the special design for trigger source is needed.In this paper
two kinds of trigger sources were proposed for the field-breakdown TVS
and the influence of trigger pulse polarities was discussed.Results show that
the field-breakdown TVS can be switched-on successfully with a high trigger rate.It also has a short trigger system delay and high trigger accuracy.Under the same polarity of main electrodes
the influence of trigger pulse polarity to the TVS trigger process is little.
