Abstract
This manuscript reports the experimental study of a novel vacuum high-voltage (HV) feedthrough geometry with a recessed anode triple junction (ATJ) relevant to large-scale pulsed power systems. It is shown experimentally that introducing a vacuum gap between the insulator–anode interface and recessing the ATJ farther away from the cathode triple junction significantly enhances high voltage (HV) vacuum surface flashover hold-off. The results for “first pulse” and “consecutive pulse” tests are reported. The physical mechanisms contributing to the electrical failure of this feedthrough geometry appear to be unique to this geometry. These findings show the potential to allow for HV vacuum surface flashover geometries with significantly improved electrical characteristics.
