Download or read book Impulse Breakdown of Liquids written by Vasily Y. Ushakov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-21 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the main physical processes and phenomena in pulsed electric breakdown. The knowledge and the control of the electric breakdown of liquids is important not only for the insulation inside power systems but it is also used for the creation and information of high voltage and high current pulses. Such high-voltage micro- and nanosecond pulses find wide application in experimental physics, electro discharge technology, physics of dielectrics, radar detection and ranging, high-speed photography.
