Experimental Study on Discharge Characteristics of Combined Air Gap with Floating Potential Conductor
In order to study the discharge characteristics of combined air gap with floating potential conductor
theexperiment of rod-plane air gap is carried out to study the influence of conductor’s space position of breakdown pro-cess. The experiment shows that when floating conductor close to high voltage electrode or ground electrode
theshorter gap is bridged firstly by arc
after that complete discharge happens. If floating conductor is in the middle ofthe air gap
a plurality of air gaps is simultaneously breakdown. Electric field simulation shows that the space elec-tric field distortion caused by floating potential conductor is a major reason for the development process discharge ofcombined air gap. Based on those
the relationship between the length of floating potential conductor
or the shape ofelectrode and breakdown voltage of combined air gap is investigated by experiments. The experiment results are ana-lyzed and explained. The experiment and simulation results have significance for understanding the flashover charac-teristics of combined air gap with a floating potential conductor.
