This report documents the technical progress in the four investigations which maAe up the project "Support of Research Projects for Electrical Energy Systems", Department of Energy Task Order Number 137 , funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and performed by the Electricity Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Erst investigation is concerned with the measurement of magnetic fields in support of epidemiogical and in vitro studies of biological field effects. NIST cohosted a workshop on exposure and biological parameters that should be considered during in vitro studies with extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic and electric fields. Additionally, equations were developed to predict the magnetic field in a pajaUel plate magnetic field exposure system.

“…Electronic mail: cswong@um.edu.my can be attributed to the self-excitation, which is caused by the secondary emission due to bombardment with the excited species, and the photoemission from the cathode due to UV radiation. 23 Manley 28 proposed a method to estimate the filamentary discharge energy in 1943. He used a voltage to charge Lissajous figure, which is also known as QV Lissajous figure to calculate the total dissipation energy of atmospheric pressure DBD in filamentary mode.…”

“…It was believed that the memory effect played an important role in the pulse height distribution and the time separation in atmospheric pressure DBD in filamentary mode between the pulses. 23 The dielectric surface properties strongly influence the characteristic of the pulse height distribution. 24 However, Wang et al 25 suggested that the dielectric surface properties are also modified by the discharge.…”

Statistical modelling of discharge behavior of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge

In this work, stochastic behavior of atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) has been investigated. The experiment is performed in a DBD reactor consisting of a pair of stainless steel parallel plate electrodes powered by a 50 Hz ac high voltage source. Current pulse amplitude distributions for different space gaps and the time separation between consecutive current pulses are studied. A probability distribution function is proposed to predict the experimental distribution function for the current pulse amplitudes and the occurrence of the transition regime of the pulse distribution. Breakdown voltage at different positions on the dielectric surface is suggested to be stochastic in nature. The simulated results based on the proposed distribution function agreed well with the experimental results and able to predict the regime of transition voltage. This model would be useful for the understanding of stochastic behaviors of DBD and the design of DBD device for effective operation and applications.

“…The barrier effect on the onset voltage has been reported on in many meetings, but the physics involved in point/wire-toplane electrode geometries where the plane is covered by the dielectric is still poorly understood considering dc voltage breakdown [23,24]. Comparisons between the dc corona (without barrier dielectrics) and barrier coronas and barrier discharges operated at ac frequencies (where the larger anode is covered by the dielectric) have been performed by many groups [24][25][26][27][28]. It is well accepted that the presence of a dielectric barrier on the plane electrode significantly changes the electrical characteristics and spatial structure of the corona, whereas the main phases of the discharge evolution remain unchanged as the voltage increases.…”

An inductively coupled plasma source, designed for ion beam applications, is allowed to float up to several kilovolt positive. If one side of the radio frequency (rf) antenna is grounded and the dielectric source tube and the surrounding air are allowed to reach a threshold temperature corona breakdown at the rf antenna occurs. The experiments presented here show that a dc corona can be ignited with the presence of a dielectric barrier, which normally precludes dc breakdown. The formation of a negative barrier corona initiates a transition to a continuous arc from the rf antenna to the source tube. It is suggested that the onset of the first filaments heat the dielectric locally, such that the dielectric strength drops. DC current channels are then formed in the source tube, allowing a resistive corona with continuous arcs to exist.
