Abstract :
The paper presents the results of investigations of effect of surface treatment of electrodes with pulsed intensive electron and ion flows on electrical strength of vacuum insulation. Such a treatment has been shown to allow one to decrease the prebreakdown currents and to increase the breakdown electric fields. The mechanisms of this effect are analyzed in the paper.
