Relations of the flashover voltage versus the velocity of the moving electrode
Abstract
The velocity of the moving electrode effects on the flashover voltages between the stationary plane electrode and the moving electrode was shown. In the stationary electrode system, the space charges produced from the tip of the electrode distribute to relax the strength of the electric field at its point, which prevents the flashover. While the electrode is set in motion, it is difficult to suppress the development of the corona or streamer which leads to flashover, because the tip of the electrode moves always prior to the existing region of space charges. The lightning which is triggered easily by a moving aircraft or a launching rocket carrying a wire connected to the ground is explained.
