Summary:
In this paper, a simple general electrical discharges circuit model for electrical discharge current waveform simulation in overvoltaged air gaps is presented. A macroscopic circuital method of simulation utilizing the standard SPICE network simulator, based on a two-dimensional (2-D) nonlinear impedances network has been proposed. The structure of the simulation framework is designed to take into account the electrode geometries in a straightforward way. A study of conducted current waveform for different electrode geometries has been done. Experimental data have been used to validate the simulation results.
Keywords: Electrostatic discharge, discharge current simulation, integral formulation, time-domain instrumentation.
