Abstract
It is known that the hold-off voltages of vacuum gaps can be improved by the spark conditioning with repetitive electrical breakdowns. At the early stage of spark conditioning process, small pulse currents (not breakdowns) are sometimes observed, and in turn hold-off voltages were improved. To clarify the mechanism of the pulse current occurrence two experiments were carried out.
