  • Abstract
    Experiments have demonstrated that one minute spark through a puncture in a dielectric film on the anode can trigger a series of pulsed discharges which terminate in sparkover. Further work is in progress to study the exact conditions which result in sparkover and to determine the mechanism involved.
