The efficiency of gas-filled surge arresters in the environment contaminated by non-ionizing radiation of fusion reactors

The research presents an experiment with a model of electronic generator for energy injection into the plasma fusion reactor. By recording non-ionizing field in vicinity reactor, it was determined that this has extremely high growth rate. At site maximum intensity radiation, commercial surge arresters flexible were used experimentation. It been found have efficiency about 20%. For model, to be slightly less than 40% (and achieved by application alpha particle radiation). Since neither these efficiencies guarantee reliable operation gas-filled arrester, concluded essential electronics must protected. However, since protection can only implemented fact remains environment such reactor is contaminated radiation. Commercial voltages are isolated testing circuits from fast overvoltages critical point functioning modern electronics.
