A rotating arc gap switch controlled by axial magnetic field was designed and built to meet the needs of high voltage,high current,large charge transfers,slight electrode erosion and long lifetime.The magnetic field distribution in the gap was analyzed by ANSYS.The relationship between magnetic flux density in the gap and switch geometry and arc current was obtained.B-dot probes were employed to measure the arc rotating velocity.The current was trapezoid-like waveform and generated by a time-sequence discharge power supply.The current was in the range of 18~72 kA and magnetic flux density was 0.104~0.628 T.The arc velocity in different magnitude of magnetic flux density was obtained by changing the coil number and the results were compared with other rotating arc gap switches.The arc velocity has exponent relation to the axial magnetic field by fitting the experimental data.The results show that the arc velocity in this kind of switch is individually determined by axial magnetic field.It is significant different from other rotating arc devices which provide an external magnetic field.
