Study on Life Characteristics of Field Distortion Gas Switch
Gas switch is one of the crucial components in pulsed power systems.Its life characteristic is one of the main performance concerned by the industry.In this paper
the life test of the field distortion gas switch is carried out.By analyzing the components of the adherent on the inner wall of the insulation after about 10 000 discharges of the switch under the experimental conditions
it is concluded that the main reason for the failure of the switch(10 kA)under the condition of relatively small conduction current of the switch is the deterioration of the insulation
and the main reason for the deterioration of the insulation is that the arc ablation electrode causes the diffusion sputtering of the material to pollute the insulation.The electric field of the electrode gap in the switch is calculated by the method of simulated charge
and the electrode shape is optimized by the particle swarm optimization(PSO) algorithm
which can be used as the optimal design algorithm to make the electrode ablate as evenly as possible and improve the life of the switch.
