Detachment of microparticles from electrode erosion and the subsequent breakdown

Resulted from electrode erosion, microparticles is common and inevitable in gas switches. Once these microparticles acquire field-induced charge and flee into the gap, there micro-discharge, impact damage and field distortion may occur, which eventually cause undesirable electrical breakdown. This p...
