Pecularities of transition of a low-current microwave capacitive discharge with an electrolitic electrode in a high-current discharge
Annotation
The results of experimental study of the transition of a low-current microwave capacitive discharge (MWCD) with an electrolytic electrode to a high-current one in the pressure range P=2×103105 Pa are presented. It is established that the voltage of transition of a low-current MWCD to a high-current one depends strongly on pressure. It is shown that at U3500 V a high-current MWCD with an electrolyte jet passes to torch discharge. When a steel plate is immersed in the electrolyte, the voltage of transition of the low-current MWCD to the high-current one increases significantly. It is found that "streamer discharges" facilitate the transition of the low-current MWCD to the high-current one with an electrolytic electrode.
