Abstract:
In a high-powered single pulse system, the graphite electrode is better than other common metal electrodes for high energy transfer and pulse discharge. In this paper, the erosion mechanism of graphite electrode is investigated with the thermodynamics theory and the experimental results. Based on a simplified mathematical model, the graphite electrode erosion process of high-powered spark gap switch is also analyzed. The analysis results show that the relationship of the graphite electrode erosion and the charge transfer is linear, which is accordant with the experimental results.
