Abstract :
The corona pulses appearing in air gaps under high-voltage impulses are the bases for the complete discharge in these gaps. The various elements affecting the creation of these pulses and their consequent influence on flashover are investigated. The delay of corona pulses and the probability of their occurrence are related to those of breakdown. The results are used to form design grounds for the air insulation of high-voltage apparatus. The experimental work was performed on 50-cm rod plane air gaps at the High Voltage Laboratory of Cairo University.
