Numerical Simulation of the High Voltage Switch Operating in a Self Breakdown Mode
In this article we construct the model of a highvoltage switch. The proposed model is based on the drift diffusion approximation and it is constructed according to the principles of a two moment discharge plasma model. Using this model, it is possible calculating the time dependent characteristics of the switching process with high accuracy both in a simplified one dimensional formulation as well as in the realistic two dimensional axisymmetric configuration. The obtained numerical results perfectly fit with the experimental data of switching process and the triggering stability.
