Posted by Bert Hickman on 7/8/2004, 12:10 am, in reply to "Liquid Dielectrics" --Previous Message-- Hello Brandon, Deionized water is an excellent dielectric... for short pulses. The breakdown behavior of water is actually fairly complex, time dependent, and also a function of the polarity of the electric field (in a non-uniform field gap) and the area of the electrodes. Fortunately, there are a few simple "rules of thumb" that seem to hold for a variety of dielectric fluids. These were developed by one of the master researchers on high voltage pulse techniques - J. C. (Charlie) Martin. And, you are in luck - for now, one of his classic papers that discusses this, and many other interesting areas as well, is availabe for FREE download from the IEEE. See: Happy reading! -- Bert --

Posted by Louis on 6/22/2004, 1:18 pm, in reply to "Liquid Dielectrics" I look forward to hearing of your results. I am proceeding with my research utilizing solid dielectrics such as Mylar, due to its high breakdown voltage. If your approach using shielded liquid provides better results, I may experiment along those lines as well! : - ) --Louis
