Abstract

Two test benches have been designed to perform research with powerful pulsed plasma generators operating at the IEE RAS. Benches are equipped with capacitive power supplies for plasma generators and measuring hardware for registration of the parameters of pulsed arc in various gases of high density, and properties of the low-temperature plasma. Test benches differ in their energy performance and diagnostic capabilities and hereinafter called as “small” and “big” ones. “Small” test bench is equipped with a capacitive power supply CPS-10 based on the capacitor bank voltage of 10 kV, energy store 6 MJ, and a maximum discharge current of 2 MA. CPS-10 has option the programmable input energy in arc and is used, currently, for power supplying the powerful pulsed plasma generator PPG -3, diagnostic discharge chamber, and electrodischarge installation with adiabatic compression of gas. Powerful pulsed plasma generator PPG-3 is designed for large-scaled tests under maximal inputted energy . Diagnostic discharge chamber is applied for in-depth study of parameters of pulsed arcs using optical techniques. Electrodischarge installation of preliminary adiabatic gas compression is used for studying the arcs at ultra-high pressure. “Big” test bench with the programmable capacitive power supply CPS-25 voltage of 25 kV, energy 9 MJ, discharge current of up to 10 MA, and the world’s highest current integral action is used for power supplying of powerful pulsed plasma generator PPG-6 for research of arcs, burning at a current up to 2 MA, and at ultra-high initial pressure.
