Description
Summary:In order to clarify the characteristics of spark conditioning carried out in parallel at several parts of electrodes, we carried out conditioning experiment to use a multi-gap electrode system with multi-rod electrodes. As a result, we found that 50% breakdown voltage after conditioning saturation differed in the multi-gap electrode system from in a single gap electrode system. In addition, we found the different process to enhance the breakdown voltage in each electrode, by comparison to the single gap electrode system.
