  • Abstract
    Pulse-discharge loss in oxygen was studied between metallic electrodes under ac stress at atmospheric pressure, and it was found to be a linear function of both the applied voltage and discharge rate. This linear dependence resulted, in part, directly from the quasi-linear variation of the discharge rate with applied voltage. Over the spark-gap lengths extending from 0.10 to 0.50 mm, the pulse-discharge loss increased linearly with the gap length.
