Abstract
Results are presented of a systematic study of pre-breakdown streamer pulses in the DC corona discharge occurring in rod-plane gaps up to 1 m long. Pulse repetition rates, current amplitudes, and DC current components have been measured as a function of atmospheric humidity. The relationship between these parameters and the voltages required for breakdown are discussed, with particular reference to the abnormal behaviour of the latter in long gaps and at high humidities, where a change in the transition to the leader discharge is considered. Comparisons are made with earlier published work.
