Statistical distribution of breakdown voltages in rep-rate spark gaps
Abstract
The correlation of various breakdown voltage distributions with conditions in a rep-rated spark gap is shown. This study is extended to include effects of a wider range of rep-rates (up to 120 pps), electrode-gas combinations (brass with SF6 and argon), and gas temperature. The behavior of some of the distributions in terms of basic gas breakdown processes is explained.
