The invention relates to a high-power pseudo-spark switch tube for power electronic pulse conversion, belonging to the technical field of a gas power
electronic switch device. The high-power pseudo-spark switch tube comprises a main
electrode, a trigger
electron gun, a
hydrogen storage unit, a sealing tube body and an outer circuit, wherein the main
electrode comprises a first
anode and a second
anode; the first
anode and second anode are closed at the two ends, leave each other for certain distance and are coaxial hollow cylinders; the trigger
electron gun comprises a tubular
cathode, a
tungsten heating wire, an outer tube and a trigger
electrode, and is arranged below the main electrode while the
muzzle of the
electron gun is aligned with an
electron injection hole of the second anode;
titanium hydride powder is arranged in the
hydrogen storage unit, and the heating wire is spirally wound on the surface; and the outer circuit comprises a main power supply and load thereof, a triggerpower supply and a
voltage division
resistor thereof, a heating wire power supply and an
electronic switch. According to the invention, the on / off of the main electrode is realized through the pseudo-
spark discharge between two anodes; and the high-power pseudo-spark switch tube has the advantages of high withstand
voltage, large on current, high repeat switch frequency, low on
voltage drop and the like, is easy to conduct by trigger, allows
short circuit of an output end, and is suitable for being used as a main switch element in an indirect type constant-energy pulse chopped-wave variable-frequency
speed control system.
