Zur Entstehung primärer Gasentladungszonen bei elektrischen Drahtexplosionen / On the Formation of Gas Discharge Zones in Electrical Wire Explosions

Abstract

Abstract Electrical explosions of wires in a conventional condenser discharge circuit have been investigated by correlated electrical and optical diagnostic techniques. Variations of the circuit parameters show details of the explosion phenomena which cause early ignitions of gas discharges at restricted regions of the wire. Under normal conditions these discharges lead to inhomogeneities of the explosion column and prevent further heating of the wire material. A short review about the phenomena is given.
