Positive point-to-plane spark breakdown of compressed gases


Play all audios:

ABSTRACT THE increase of spark breakdown potential of gases with increase of pressure does not apply for all electrode configurations. It has been shown1–4 that an anomalous decrease occurs


in the positive point-to-plane breakdown potential of some gases at several atmospheres pressure. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content,
