            Abstract : 
In this paper, the study results of nonelectrode streamers initiated by microparticles of sizes less than 50 μm are presented. The used method is anode screening with the help of a preliminarily prepared conductive layer close to an electrode surface. A microparticle initiates multiple simultaneous streamers, both fast cathode and slow anode directed.
