FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: device is excited by means of high Q cavity, which has strong connection to microwave source. When valve is fired, Q factor of cavity is sharply decreased, microwave source frequency is driven to working frequency level, at which valve operation is kept. In cases, when arc quenches, initialization is repeated. EFFECT: stability and reliability of excitation and keeping discharge, simplified design. 9 cl, 1 dwg
