【 摘 要 】

The paper deals with the investigations of the recovery process of electric strength in a cold cathode thyratron. Method which allows extracting the plasma of the preceding discharge not only from the cathode cavity but also from the main gap of the thyratron is proposed. Method is based on the usage of a low-current nonsteady state discharge in the pause between the pulses.
