Anomalous Paschen effect

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the area left of the Paschen minimum, i.e., the area where the anomalous Paschen effect occurs. The experimental results and numerical simulation suggest a slightly different explanation of the anomalous Paschen effect. That is to say, that the anomalous Paschen effect is the result of the breakdown in a nonhomogenous electric field (edge electrode lines).Index Terms-Anomalous Paschen effect, electrical breakdown of gases, nonhomogenous electric field.

“…Consequently, the values of the DC breakdown voltage at the points to the left of Paschen minimum (Figure 10, Figure 11 and Figure 12) are lower when there exists a magnetic field in the inter-electrode gap and vice versa, at the points to the right of the Paschen minimum (Figure 13, Figure 14 and Figure 15). The latter is attributable to the anomalous Paschen effect, which appears at the points to the left of the Paschen minimum [27]. According to the anomalous Paschen effect, lower values of the breakdown voltage correspond to higher inter-electrode distances.…”

“…Then it is possible to achieve a very large radius of the Paschen curve in the vicinity of the Paschen minimum. Therefore, positioning of the working point GSFA in the vicinity of the Paschen minimum enables approximately constant d.c. breakdown voltage, independently of small variations of pressure and inter-electrode gap during exploitation [6,7].…”
