Abstract

The studies, carried out on high inductive energy transfer, has lead the Electrotechnical Laboratory to test switch device. Our works on trigger vacuum switches has shown switch off capacities. In preliminary studies, we have shown possibilities to pseudospark discharge for zero current switching. Our purpose here is to define electrical characterization of this kind of discharge. An axial magnetic field, pressure of gas (air), different shapes of geometrical electrode was the network constant of the pseudospark discharge. The surface observation of the cathode and the anode show us that a pseudospark discharge diffuse all over the electrode surface.
