To overcome the difficulties in analyzing the mechanism of performance differences among the active surge protection gaps(SPG)by merely changing the structures or materials of trigger circuits
an output voltage transient formula of the trigger circuit is obtained by establishing an equivalent model of the trigger circuit under combined wave. On the basis of the quantitative analysis and experiment
the trigger circuit dynamic voltage changing sequences
the numerical relationship and action series between the trigger current and main gap current
the response time of the trigger circuit
and th
e voltage changing regularities of SPG are obtained. It is found that: the coupled gas discharge tube in the trigger circuit lag acts behind the varistors; the voltage of main gap approximately reaches the sum of threshold voltage of varistor U
1 mA
and gas discharge tube action voltage U
GM
while gas discharge tube acts; the trigger current I
1
appears before main gap current I
2
but is much smaller than I
2
; the response time of the coupled gas discharge tube t
1
and the trigger gap t
2
decrease with the increasing impulse peak voltage; and the response time t
3
and the voltage ratio K of the active SPG are far less than the values 2 μs and 2.42 of the passive SPG.
