Abstract

The results and analysis of experiments are presented, the purpose of which is to study the mechanism of ignition of a high-voltage arc discharge in a vacuum gap. The results indicate that the development of an arc discharge under the presented conditions is occurs mainly due to the ionization of the residual gas by a flow of overheated electrons with an energy of 100−500 eV from an auxiliary spark discharge.
