Abstract
AbstractThe possibility of laser‐induced lightning has been investigated for the future application in the protection of electric power systems from lightning strokes. This technique induces lightning strokes artificially along a laser‐produced breakdown plasma channel and conducts them to a harmless place on the ground.To clarify the plasma formation mechanism and the discharge (sparkover) induction process, sparkover induction experiments are performed for two types of long‐gap electrode configurations, plate‐to‐rod and plate‐to‐plate, with a 50‐J TEA CO2 laser.In the present paper, the sparkover voltage characteristics and interferometric measurement on laser‐produced plasma mainly are described, together with sparkover induction for a series of metal beads arranged equidistantly which simulate a plasma channel.
