A high voltage pulse lasting 0.35 microsecond is applied to a pair of delay lines, so that two pulses can be picked up from adjustable points of connection on the lines. One is applied to an irradiating gap and the other to a longer test gap, the gaps being so arranged that only mid-gap irradiation occurs. The sparking probability, P, of the test gap is used to indicate the presence of ionizing radiation. Variations of P with the time interval between the two pulses are recorded. They indicate that ionizing radiation is emitted in repeated short flashes. Photographic observations support this view.

Changes in the spectrum of copper alloys excited with a unidirectional spark discharge in argon are noted when hydrogen is added to the system. Systematic enhancement in erosion of copper, but not of copper in brass or in Muntz metal, is observed. Argon spectra are also perturbed, with some cascades originating near the Ar I ionization limit enhanced while other, nearly isoenergetic, cascades terminating in the Ar I metastable levels are suppressed. Ar II emission is also enhanced in the presence of H2. Both electrode surface chemistry and plasma chemistry are affected by the hydrogen addition.

The aim of this paper is to point out the advantages of the use of the time-frequency analysis in the digital processing of waveforms recorded in high voltage impulse tests. Impulse voltage tests are essential to inspect and test insulation integrity of high voltage apparatus. On the other hand, generated impulse currents are used for different test applications such as investigation of high current effects, electromagnetic interference (EMI) testing, etc. Obtained voltage and current waveforms usually have some sort of interferences originated from the different sources. These interferences have to be removed from the original impulse data in order to evaluate the waveform characteristics precisely. When the interference level is high enough, it might not be possible to distinguish signal parameters from the recorded data. Conventional filtering methods cannot be useful for some interference like white noise. In that case, time-frequency filtering methods might be necessary. In this study, the wavelet analysis, which is a powerful time-frequency signal processing tool, is used to recognize the noise of impulse current and voltage data. Thus, the noise sources can be determined by short time Fourier Transform, and a coherence approach is used to determine the bandwidth of noises.
