Investigation of high voltage discharge in service water

The methods of electrodischarge treatment used in the technology of commercial production have an affecting factor produced by the electrical discharge in a liquid. The methods are implemented in HV electrohydraulic systems. In electrodischarge technique the service water is usually used and it has the high conductivity value (γ≥10^-4 Ohms-1 cm^-1). Some production procedures employ solutions of higher conductivity values such as the cement solution or concrete mixes. Implementation of the electrodischarge processes in such mediums involves high energy losses during discharge formation and that requires the increase of the single pulse energy and leads to the increase of energy consumption, fall in reliability and etc. So the search for new methods of the discharge formation in a high conductivity medium became necessary.
