Critical Flashover of a Sphere Gap using IVG
Procedure
- When the page gets loaded the value of Diameter of the sphere should be choosen from the displayed dropdown box.
- The sphere gap distance values gets populated in response to the selected sphere diameter in another drop down and one of the value should be selected.
- The voltage level values per stage gets populated in response to the selected sphere gap in another drop down and one of the value should be selected.
- Start experiment button is clicked to start experiment
- The Trigger generator button is to be clicked to display the mechanism of IVG and the fact that Breakdown has occurred or not is displayed.
- The fill table button is to be clicked to fill data into observation table.
- Procedure 4,5,6 have to repeat 10 times for selected voltage level and The Break-down probability for each voltage level is calculated as Number of pulses break-down divided by Total Number of pulses.
- Steps 4,5 & 6 are repeated for all applied voltage values to complete the Experiment.
- The plot button will be enabled at the end of the experiment.
- The button is to be clicked to display the variation of the Applied Voltage versus the Breakdown probability.
- The critical flash over voltage value (for given sphere diameter and gap spacing) namely the voltage value for 50% probability of breakdown is displayed prominently on the graph.
