In order to test the equipment with ultra high voltage the synthesis circuit which uses voltage and current source to work together will be adopted because of the lower test cost. The very important device which will determine and influence the validity of the synthesis circuit test will be introduced and designed in this paper. The voltage is high so the gap in air will be very long to sustain such high voltage even in vacuum the gap will also be long enough. Long gap is not easy to be influenced by the tripping signal. The simulation test is carried out with air gaps in series. The function of the tripping signal on the breakdown of the gaps is tested. The minimum breakdown voltage is tested and compared between the same gap with and without tripping signal. The relationship of the voltage smaller than the minimum breakdown voltage and the breakdown time is also tested. The test result proves that tripping signal can control the breakdown time of the gaps in series, which will be true for the long vacuum gaps in series. Furthermore the tripped vacuum gaps in series rated 500kV with 3.8m long is designed","PeriodicalId":369861,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121820596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parallel-connected TVS and FVCB make up the basic optic-controlled module. And basic modules arranging in series can be increase the hold-off (withstand) voltage. When the closing command is triggered, TVS acts in several microseconds and carries the high making current first FVCB acts as the parallel protecting device for TVS, its closing command is sent simultaneously with TVS.

Mercury which is used in fluorescent lamps for general lighting has a possibility to cause environmental problems. The author's group has been developing fluorescent lamps which contain only rare gases without mercury. The wavelength of the xenon resonance line is the longest in the rare-gas resonance lines, so that the Stokes-loss becomes smaller than the other rare-gases' cases. Therefore the authors have investigated pulsed xenon fluorescent lamps. However luminous flux of xenon fluorescent lamps was not large enough. The authors have been making efforts to improve luminous flux of the xenon lamp by expanding positive column. By setting an auxiliary external electrode on the outside wall of the lamp, positive column expands and luminous flux increases. However luminous efficacy decreases because power consumption through the external electrode is too large. So by using resistor, the current flowing through the external electrode is suppressed and power consumption decreased. Consequently higher luminous efficacy up to 100 lm/W with high luminance 6894 cd/m2 is achieved","PeriodicalId":369861,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127813609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a molecular gas in a discharge has a tendency to get a high temperature because energy is stored as vibrational and rotational energy. This is a serious problem when the nitrogen discharge is used for light sources. Moreover, nitrogen requires fairy higher voltage to ignite and maintain a discharge compared with mercury-argon mixture. Because argon metastable levels (11.5 eV and 11.7 eV) lie near nitrogen C3IIu level (11.05 eV), which is upper state of 2nd positive band, energy transfer from argon metastable to nitrogen C 3IIu state is expected in the nitrogen-argon discharge. By limiting the amount of nitrogen to small portion, which is like a relationship between mercury and argon as a Penning gas, the discharge becomes stable and the temperature decrease, whereas the positive column of pure nitrogen or pure argon discharge tend to shrink and the pure nitrogen discharge have a high temperature. This result is attributed to the efficient energy flow to the C3IIu level through the energy transfer mentioned above. However, there is another problem that the amount of nitrogen molecule decreases during discharge, possibly by adsorption of nitrogen to the wall of discharge tube or the electrodes, which is confirmed from decrease in intensity of nitrogen molecule emission. The mechanisms of decrease in nitrogen molecule are under investigation","PeriodicalId":369861,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130331495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both of them are made of stainless-steal (SUS304). A pulsed-arc current up to approx. 3kA with duration of about 15-20ms was fed from a power supply that was consisted of a low-voltage LC circuit (135 muH/0.04F/550V) with a crowbar diode.
