GAS-FILLED DISCHARGER Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: gas-discharge engineering; gas-discharge devices including gas-filled spark dischargers.

SUBSTANCE: proposed discharger noted for high firing voltage has cylindrical case 1 accommodating holders 3 with electrodes 4 and gas filler of argon and hydrogen. Gas filler is doped with tritium to 0.74 ± 0.186 MBq (20 ± 5 μCu) affording stabilization of device first breakdown; ratio ≥4 of distance between electrodes and internal surface of device case to electrode distance provides for eliminating throw-over of discharge from electrodes to internal walls of case; electrode holders have inner thread on external end of case enabling successive connection of discharger into string thereby raising breakdown voltage.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability and service life, enlarged operating frequency and temperature range of discharger.
