Calculation of energy absorbed in the plasma of high voltage nanosecond discharge with subnanosecond rise-time of voltage impulse

摘要

The possibility of using method for measuring the absorbed energy by means of a shunt current was considered. Experimental results of such measurements in a plasma of pulsed electric discharges excited by nanosecond voltage pulses, which are applied to a nonlinear load through long transmission line, are presented. A comparison was made with the technique of measuring the absorbed energy by means of a voltage divider and a shunt current located directly in the load.
