About this document
Gaseous Dielectrics and Breakdown Mechanisms by smilenirav is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Gases are commonly used as dielectrics or insulating mediums in electrical apparatus. When low voltages are applied, gases allow only small currents to flow and retain their insulating properties. However, at high voltages, currents in the gas sharply increase and electrical breakdown occurs. The breakdown phenomenon in gases involves the study of gas properties and the ionization processes that produce high currents. There are two types of electrical discharges in gases: non-sustaining and self-sustaining.
