ULTRA HIGH POWER TRANSMISSION LINE TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

Problems related to failure mechanisms in ultrahigh power transmission lines are treated. A more general equation for breakdown is derived for non-uniform conditions using the Boltzmann transport theory and then an approximate solution is discussed for breakdown at a heated surface. Experimental verification including measurements up to pressures of several atmospheres is given for the transition from a localized breakdown at a small hemisphere to a main-volume breakdown. Results of an experimental study of arc movement is given which includes several gases under a variety of conditions. (Author)
