Abstract

Epoxy resin laminate on which electric circuit of copper was printed as printed circuit board (PCB) has been employed to investigate the effects of magnetic field and low pressure. The experiment was carried out under electric and magnetic field by using a dc power, the angle between the magnetic field and the electrical field was 90 degree, the magnetic flux density (MFD) was 120 mT, 140 mT, 180 mT and 240 mT. The test sample was placed in a decompression chamber, which was made of glass vessel, and the pressure was reduced by a rotary pump. The discharge voltage was affected by both the magnetic field and low-pressure. The test results showed that the influence of magnetic field on discharge voltage depended on the pressures. Furthermore, the discharge currents were analyzed by a method of power spectral density.
