In this paper, anode hot spot temperature calculations in vacuum gaps subjected to impulse excitations are presented. The transient thermal diffusion equation governing the heat conduction is solved by a finite difference method. The anode spot is modeled as a cylindrical disc heated uniformly at the center by the electron beam from a discrete cathode emitter. The effects of some parameters like the electrode work function, electric field intensification factor and radius of the spot on the anode spot temperature are discussed. A general method of computing the anode spot temperature for any desired impulse wave shape is outlined. The method being a simple numerical technique, can be used to estimate the size of microparticles originating from thermally unstable regions. The results are presented for a 1 mm plane parallel stainless steel electrode gap for a typical switching impulse waveform (250/2500 μs) for an anode spot of 5 μm diameter
