Rap session B - high voltage electronics
William G. Dunbar, John Warren Williams, E. R. Bunker, J. Burnham, M. Chester, Wendell T. Starr · 1975
One easily overlooked aspect of electronic design is partial discharges and voltage breakdown at low gas pressures. On many occasions in the space program equipment losses from partial discharges and voltage breakdown have resulted in only partial mission successes. This rap session on high voltage electronics is intended to give design engineers an opportunity to exchange information on causes of high voltage problems in space flight and how to avoid the costly experiences of the past.
