Surface Studies Of Dielectric Materials Used In Spark Gaps
Abstract
Dielectric materials commonly used as insulators in spark gaps (Lexan, Nylon, Lucite, Macor, Boron Nitride, Delrin and G-10) have been exposed to the by-products of arcs in three different spark gap experiments. The first was a 60 kV, 0.05 Caul/shot spark gap using copper-tungsten or graphite electrodes at various pressures of N2 or SF6 gas.
