    The document describes a multiple chopping gap (MAFS) device that can chop lightning and switching impulses up to the highest voltages. It works by simultaneously acting as a load capacitor and allowing reproducible chopping timing without distorting the wave shape. The device uses stacked capacitors and damping resistances housed in fiberglass cylinders. It features adjustable copper spheres with tungsten inserts and a precise drive system to set the gap distance automatically depending on the charging voltage. Technical specifications are provided for different MAFS models ranging from 600 kV to 3600 kV.

    M AFS

    M ultiple Chopping Gap

    With an additional secondary unit the M AFS can also


    be used, in som e applications, as a voltage divider.
    Rod gaps and sphere gaps (above 1000 kV) draw a
    substantial pre-discharge current prior to the voltage
    break-dow n, causing a voltage drop. This affects the
    com parison tests w hen testing pow er transform ers,
    hence particular attention must be paid to the w ay the
    circuit is built.
    The sphere distance is autom atically adjusted by the
    Haefely controls GC 223, GC 257.
    In the autom atic m ode, their distance is set
    autom atically as a function of the charging voltage.
    The gap distance is displayed on the controls. The
    chopping is initiated by the first stage, having a
    triggering plug.
    A m anual control box GSC 219 is available to adjust
    the gap distance standalone or w ith non -Haefely
    control system s

    DESIGN
    For m obile/stationary indoor design.
    The HV units are m ade of stacked capacitors w ith
    inserted dam ping resistances. This active part is built
    on reinforced fibre-glass cylinders.
    Our active part technology is derived from our
    decades-long experience. The copper spheres have
    tungsten sintered inserts to reduce burn-off. Their
    distance is set by a precise drive. The upper semi -
    M ultiple chopping gap M AFS 1200 sphere is attached to a m ovable frame w hich m akes it
    possible to adjust sim ultaneously all spark gaps.
    APPLICATION The m ultiple chopping gaps are equipped w ith toroid
    The m ultiple chopping gap is an original patented electrodes. The electrodes are m ade of brushed
    Haefely developm ent and is used to chop lightning alum inium . The electrode type is determ ined by the
    im pulses (on the front and on the tail) as w ell as rated voltage. Fibre-glass struts are required w hen
    sw itching im pulses up to the highest voltages. m ore than 2400 kV rated M AFS is used. The H base
    fram e of w elded steel profiles is equipped w ith four
    The m ultiple chopping gap serves sim ultaneously as a sw ivel castors.
    load capacitor for the im pulse generator and allow s
    excellent reproducibility of the chopping tim e and does
    not distort the w ave shape until the chopping point.
