In particular, a study of a charging mechanism on the solid surface in vacuum is very important. For this reason, we measured a 2-dimensional surface charge distribution using a real-time measurement technique. Under electron beam irradiation to the dielectric surface, we measured the time-transition of surface charge accumulation by electrostatic probes. By varying the electron beam current and the beam energy, we investigated the dependence of such parameters on the charging process. From the measurement results, we clarified that such a measurement technique allowed us to obtain the time varying 2D charging characteristics, which resulted in the clarification of the charging mechanism caused by electron irradiation in vacuum.","PeriodicalId":429452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings ISDEIV. 19th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (Cat.

This method deals with the subdomains directly in mesh processing. The characteristic constraints such as polylines and fixed nodes involved in solution domain are discussed by this method in this paper. Finally, a 110 kV vacuum interrupter is applied by the method. It is shown that the improved mesh method is correct, simple and universal.","PeriodicalId":429452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings ISDEIV. 19th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (Cat.

The HRAVA has a thermally isolated anode and a cooled cathode. The arc operates initially as a multi-cathode-spot vacuum arc, and material from the cathode spot jets deposits on the anode. During a transition stage, the arc heats the anode and evaporates the material deposited thereon, forming an anode plasma plume. A system of time-dependent equations were formulated and solved for the heat flux from the plasma to the anode surface, heat conduction within the anode, electron energy balance and heavy particle conservation in the anode plasma. The calculations show that the plasma electron temperature decreases while the anode temperature and plasma density increase with time. The model results agree well with previously measured data.","PeriodicalId":429452,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings ISDEIV. 19th International Symposium on Discharges and Electrical Insulation in Vacuum (Cat.

By H/sub 2/ plasma exposure for 20 minutes, the surface resistivity was reduced from 10/sup 17/ /spl Omega/ to 10/sup 12/ /spl Omega/.
