[0038] In the present application, by changing the arc discharge energy, it is found that the pressure waveform under different discharge energies has obvious segment characteristics;By changing the oil tank boundary, using flexible material oil tank, it is found that the amplitude of quasi-static pressure and steady pressure is greatly reduced.
[0039] According to the diameter change of discharge bubble of arc discharge, arc discharge voltage, current and frequency band characteristics of pressure waveform, the segment characteristics of discharge pressure are formed.
[0040] Further, the pressure waveform characteristics are divided into four stages: shock wave, pulsating pressure, quasi-static pressure and steady pressure.
[0041] In the preferred embodiment of the method, the frequency band characteristics of the pressure waveform generated based on the pressure waveform include analyzing the part where the arc discharge voltage occurs suddenly, corresponding to the arc discharge and bubble collapse process;The fast Fourier transform is carried out on the discharge dynamic pressure waveform to obtain the frequency spectrum characteristics of the discharge dynamic pressure.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the method, the voltage and current of the arc discharge are measured to obtain the arc resistance, power and energy.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the method, a shadow imaging system and a high-speed camera are used to collect images of the discharge bubbles, and the images of the discharge bubbles are analyzed to obtain the diameter change of the discharge bubbles.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the method, the shadow imaging system includes a light source generating an optical fiber and a diaphragm and a lens arranged along the light path.
[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the method, the arc discharge experiment includes RLC a circuit including a high-voltage direct-current power supply, a capacitor and an inductor, and a high-voltage differential probe and an oscilloscope.
[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the method, the arc discharge experiment includes a gas collection and volume statistics system for measuring the discharge bubbles.
[0050] In one embodiment, the method includes
[0051] carrying out arc discharge experiments in a sealed oil-filled tank, observing the movement of the discharge bubbles, measuring the arc discharge voltage, current and pressure waveform,
[0052] analyzing the diameter change law of the discharge bubbles, the electrical parameters and the frequency band characteristics of the pressure waveform,
[0053] carrying out discharge experiments of different energies, different boundary conditions and different current waveforms, and comparing the pressure waveform laws,
[0054] proposing segmented characteristics of the discharge pressure according to the movement law of the arc discharge bubbles, the electrical parameters and the pressure characteristics.
[0055] In this embodiment, based on RLCThe arc discharge experiment platform in oil is built, including the electrical parameter measurement of voltage and current, gas volume statistics, high-speed observation of discharge bubble by shadow method, discharge transient pressure measurement, etc.
[0056] In one embodiment, the experimental platform schematic diagram is as shown in Figure 2 ;
