Abstract

The causes of serious metallic melting due to discharges in the insulating gas of the Daresbury Tandem are examined. It is concluded that the damage is produced when the return stroke of the discharge experiences an impedance mismatch on re-entering the original single spark channel. The damage is at the site of the first spark which triggers the discharge but occurs at a later time.
