Synchronization characteristics of cold cathode thyratron

Synchronization characteristics of the cold cathode TPI1-10k/50 thyratron were investigated, through adjusting the hydrogen heater voltage, direct preionization current, pulse preionization current and trigger current. The thyraton can work under 40 kV voltage,16 kA current, 200 ns pulse width and 20 Hz frequency with a jitter of about 2 ns. And the experiment shows that, though adjusting the trigger parameters, the delay can be adjusted by ±1 ns in 40 ns range.
