Abstract
Fast shadowgraphy of nanosecond discharge in liquids with different dielectric permittivity, namely in water, ethanol and n-pentane, has been performed. Formation of a gas cavity at a nanosecond time scale was observed as a pre-breakdown phenomenon at amplitudes of the high-voltage pulse close to the breakdown threshold. This phenomenon is considered as a possible key step of high-voltage breakdown in polar liquids.
