An investigation of radial recovery of a high current spark channel

Reignition curves have been obtained for a high current (40ka) spark gap channel in air at atmospheric pressure at various radial distances down to delay times of 50 µs. after initiation of spark. The reignition curves in the ‘thermal breakdown' regime are obtained by a constant voltage generat...
