SPARK-GAP SWITCHING OF A 384-kJ LOW INDUCTANCE CAPACITOR BANK
A three-electrode spark gap which can handle high energy (96 kj) was designed and used with a 384-kj capacitor bank having an operating range from 30 to 80 kv. The gap jitter time was reduced to iess than 25 nsec. During theta - pinch experiments involving 3000 discharges of the bank, there was no significant deterioration of the gaps or variation of the electrical characteristics of the system. (auth)
