Non-Stationary Corona Around Multi-Electrode System in External Electric Field

Abstract

A non-stationary corona in which the front of space charge has not bridged the gap is studied by considering a multi-electrode equipotential system in an unsteady electric field. Onset electric field and the evolution in time of discharge characteristics (discharge current, injected space charge, etc.) are numerically calculated versus the distance between electrodes. Conditions are obtained that corona near a real multi-electrode system can be simulated by charge emission from a plane in an electric field exceeding some threshold.
