Quantification of prominent factors on the time lag and jitter of the spark-gaps

An experimental and numerical study: to investigate the switching characteristics of a field-distortion sparkgap switch in various SF6 admixtures

“…There are many numerical studies devoted to the analysis of streamer propagation in pure SF 6 and binary mixture of SF 6 with N 2 and O 2 [15,16]. Shishavan et al [17] modelled a high pressure peaking switch by using COMSOL Multiphysics, and quantified the relationship amongst key variables such as operating pressure and dV/dT on stochastic operation of closing switch in H 2 /N 2 admixture. Levko et al [18] numerically studied the streamer dynamics in j(SF 6 ) ∼ 1% in SF 6 /N 2 admixture by using 2D axisymmetric fluid model coupled with a comprehensive mechanism of plasma chemistry.…”
