Abstract
Results of a detailed parametric study of a self-switched mutually inductively coupled high voltage parallel spark preionizer are presented. The maximal behavior exhibited by the breakdown voltage of the parallel gaps with respect to the number of mutually coupled turns has been explained. It has been found that there exists a threshold rise time of the current pulse beyond which simultaneous closure of the parallel gaps is not possible and that this threshold value is independent of the nature and geometry of the cores used for the mutual coupling. The degree of simultaneity of the closure of the self-switched parallel gaps matched that of the conventional operation of such gaps.
