The Impulse Breakdown Trajectory in Air between Rod and Plane Electrodes
by D B Watson and L Ma
Dept of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of
Canterbury, New Zealand
Abstract:
Image processing was used to analyze video recordings of electrical
breakdown paths in a rod/plane electrode air gap. The number of segments
in the breakdown path was found to vary as the applied over-voltage was
changed. Ther results are discussed in terms of a prebreakdown space
charge model.
