    A cold cathode arc discharge filament based multicusp H- ion source (HNIS) has been developed using an innovative low power igniter system working in a glow discharge regime to achieve a longer lifetime of the filament. This HNIS is cesium-free and its experimental prototype generates a maximum H- ion beam (HNIB) current of 12 mA at 50 keV beam energy in pulse mode with a peak arc power of 27 kW using the triode extraction system. This article presents the results of initial commissioning of the HNIS and steering magnetic field used to separate out the co-extracted electrons from HNIB, verified through experiments and 3-D ion beam simulations.
