Abstract
Pressurized sparkgap switches are widely used in pulsed power systems due to high hold-off voltage and high power handling capability. The breakdown voltage of switch is primarily governed by electric field ‘E’ and dielectric properties and pressure ‘P’ of filled gas. Effective electric field between electrodes ‘E’ is further dictated by various parameters like electrode dimensions, electrode profile and inter-electrode distance. Among these factors electrode profile has a very vital role in deciding reliable operating voltage range, switch inductance, plasma channel formation, conduction delay, jitter and life expectancy of switch. The most widely used electrode profiles in high voltage pulsed power switches are Plane, Bruce, and Rogowski[1],[2].
