HIGH VOLTAGE BREAKDOWN STUDY

Abstract

The pilot experiment has been completed involving 32 treatments and 16 replications; of these, 23 involved full system bakeout. Procedures are used which yielded the significant unconditioned and conditioned data for electrode gaps ranging from 1.5 to 3.0 cm. The results have been statistically analyzed and a unified theory of breakdown has been developed which is consistent with the trends of this analysis. Finally, the 300 kv system has been maintained in a fully operational state and assembly of the magnetic field and energy storage systems has continued.
