The invention discloses an integrated weak light triggering gas switch circuit based on a
transformer, and a working method thereof. The circuit comprises a gas switch, a
transformer, a
photoconductive switch, a divider
resistor and a trigger
capacitor, the high-
voltage electrode of the gas switch is connected with the divider
resistor, the ground
electrode of the gas switch is grounded, and the trigger
electrode of the gas switch is connected with the
secondary side of the
transformer; one terminal of the primary side of the transformer is connected with one end of the
photoconductive switch,and the other end of the
photoconductive switch is connected with the divider
resistor and the trigger
capacitor. And the other terminal of the primary side of the transformer is connected with the trigger
capacitor and grounded. According to the invention, micro-focus low-energy
laser triggering, triggering control and
high voltage can be adopted to realize photoelectric isolation; optical fibers are used for transmitting trigger
light energy, complex collimation, light alignment and other operations are omitted, and the trigger moment is easy to control. The trigger loop directly obtains the
voltage and the energy required by the trigger
system from the main loop or the gas switch
electric field, and a charging power supply does not need to be additionally arranged.
