Introduction. It is known that in gas-discharge gaps (for example, in air gaps of high-voltage air switches and other electrode systems of electrical loads) circuits of powerful capacitor energy storage devices (CES) designed to reproduce in the laboratory conditions of high-current electrophysical phenomena (for example, artificial lightning with pulse A- and long-term C- current components), both pulsed spark electric discharges and pulse arc electric charges can occur poisons [1-3]. For pulse spark electric discharges flowing in the air gaps of the discharge circuits of high-power high-voltage CES,
the characteristic parameters are their duration Tpd <1 ms and the amplitude of their current Imd <1000 kA [1]. With regard to pulsed arc discharges in the discharge circuits of high-power high-voltage CES, for them the indicated electric parameters Tpd and Imd are characterized by the following numerical values [2, 3]: 1000 ms>rpd>100 ms and 1000 A>Imd>100 A. In the latter the numerical values of the parameters Tpd and I„ld practically correspond to the known characteristics of the classical electric arc

discharge arising in the air double-electrode system (DES) between its cathode and anode at a constant or alternating current in the electric circuit [4]. According to the data given in [4, 5], the arc electric discharge in the air DES is maintained by thermionic emission from the surface of a metallic or graphite cathode electrode. Due to the acceleration of electrons in the interelectrode gap and the shock ionization of the air molecules between the cathode and the anode of the DES, a column (channel) of a brightly-luminous strongly ionized gas appears, called electron-ion plasma in electrophysics. For a classic example of an electric arc discharge in the open air between graphite (carbon) electrodes of a DES, the thermodynamic temperature of the arc channel with radius of up to 4 mm at constant current of 200 A on the anode surface in its central zone can reach a value of up to 4200 K, and on the surface of the cathode - up to 3500 K [4, 5].
In [6, 7], the results of an approximate calculation of the active resistance Rc of the channel of pulse spark electric discharge between the metal electrodes of a highvoltage high-current air switch at atmospheric pressure were presented. Simple and convenient formulas for estimating the maximum temperature T^ of the electron-ion plasma of pulse electric arc in an air DES are not currently known to us. Of undoubted scientific and practical interest are the electrophysical problems associated with the design determination of the active resistance Rce and the maximum temperature Tme of the pulse arc electric discharge channel between the metallic (graphite) electrodes of the air DES in the high-current discharge circuit of the high-power high-voltage power testing unit of the electrical testing apparatus.
The goal of the paper is approximate calculation of the active resistance Rce and the maximum temperature Tme of the plasma channel of the pulsed arc electric discharge in the air DES that is part of the high-current discharge circuit of the powerful high-voltage CES, as well as the practical approbation of the calculation data in the conditions of the high-voltage laboratory on a real powerful CES of the electrical installation.
1. Problem definition. Let us consider an air DES located in a high-current discharge circuit of high-power high-voltage pulse current generator (PCG), whose CES is built on a single-module circuit based on parallel-connected high-voltage pulse capacitors. It is designed to reproduce in the air gap of length ha of a long-term C-component of artificial lightning current with normalized amplitude-time parameters (ATPs) according to the technical requirements of the current US regulatory documents SAE ARP 5412: 2013 and SAE ARP 5416: 2013 [8, 9]. Recall that the normalized ATPs for the aperiodic long-time C- component of the lightning current have the following numerical values [8, 9]: current amplitude Imdc=±(200-800) A; the transferred electric charge gdc=±(200±40) C; duration of current flow Vc=(0,25-1) s. It can be seen that the ATPs of this component of the artificial lightning current correspond to
the main characteristics of the current of the electric arc discharge between the cathode and the anode of the air DES [4, 5]. We assume that the metallic or graphite electrodes of the DES are considered in atmospheric air under normal conditions (air pressure is 1.013-105 Pa and its temperature is 80=0 °C [4]). Taking into account the indicated numerical values of Tpdc, we use the plasma isothermicity condition in the channel of the considered electric arc, according to which its maximum electron temperature Tme will be practically equal to the maximum temperature Tmi of the carriers of its ion current (Tme~Tm) [4]. We assume that in the DES, the length lce of the cylindrical channel of the equilibrium plasma of the pulsed electric arc is in the first approximation equal to the minimum length of the interelectrode gap in the investigated DES. We assume that in a high-current channel of an electric arc discharge in an air DES, the current density ddc, the thermodynamic electron Tme, and the ion temperature Tmi of its equilibrium plasma are, in a first approximation, characterized by a practically uniform distribution along its radius. It is required, within the engineering approach, to obtain a new design ratio for the active resistance Rce and to recommend a simple formula for the estimated estimation of the maximum temperature Tme of the plasma of the pulse arc electric discharge channel in the air DES, and also to carry out practical approbation of the approximate calculations of the Rce and Tme values applied to the real high-current discharge circuit of an operating powerful PCG (PCG-C) simulating a long-tem C- component of artificial lightning current on a low-resistance RL- load.
2. Basic calculation relationships. Using the plasmodynamic method of calculating the value of Rce [6], for the variable in time t active resistance of the plasma channel of a pulse arc of electric discharge in the air DES under study, we write the following expression:
Rce (t)= lce №ce (t)/ce ]"*, (1)
where rce(t) is the changing in time t radius of the plasma channel of the arc electric discharge between the metal (graphite) electrodes of the DES; yce is the average conductivity of low-temperature plasma in a cylindrical channel of pulse arc between DES electrodes.
It is known that the value rce(t) during the course of the pulse discharge current idc(t) of the powerful CES of the PCG-C generator through the DES under investigation changes on the increasing part of the aperiodic current pulse from its minimum zero value (time t=0) to its maximum value rcem corresponding to the instant tmdc, when the current strength idc(t) reaches its maximum value Imdc. On the falling part of the indicated current pulse, the quantity rce(t) varies from the maximum value rcem (time instant tmdc) to the minimum zero value corresponding to the moment when the pulse discharge current idc(t) ceases to flow through the air DES (time t=Tpdc). Obviously, at the instants of time t=0 and t=Tpdc, the active resistance of the plasma channel of the pulsed arc electric discharge in the air DES takes, according to
(1), infinitely large numerical values. In this connection, it is impossible to use directly the relation (1) for practical calculations of the value rce(t). Therefore, we are faced with a new electrotechnical problem associated with the replacement of the variable in time t with the value of the active resistance rce(t) of the pulse electric arc by some equivalent value of its active resistance Rce, which remains constant throughout the process of the impulse discharge current idc(t) form through the considered DES. One of the possible ways of approximate solution of such a problem can be the averaging in (1) in time t of the quantity rce(t). Moreover, this is an unconventional averaging, when a time function of the form f(rce)=rce2(t) is averaged on the right-hand side of expression (1). We have said about the limits of the change of this function above. Then, for the equivalent active resistance Rce of the pulsed arc electric discharge channel in the air DES, we obtain the relation:
r
cem
Rce = lce /(^Ycercem ^rcedrce ) = 3lce (^rcemYce ) . (2) 0
It follows from (2) that in order to find the numerical value of the equivalent active resistance Rce of the arc discharge channel of length lce, it is necessary to know its two parameters such as the maximum radius rcem and the average conductivity yce of the electron-ion plasma forming the column of the considered electric arc. The radius rcem (m) of the channel of pulse arc discharge in air DES depends on the strength of the discharge current idc(t) of the high-power high-voltage generator PCG-C, flowing in it and for normal atmospheric conditions in the SI system is given in the form [3, 10]:
rcem J-.1"10 (Imdc) .
(3)
where Imdc is the amplitude (A) of the aperiodic long-term C- current components of artificial lightning in the plasma channel of the pulse electric arc of DES.
Substituting (3) into (2), for the equivalent active resistance Rce (Q) of the plasma channel of the pulse electric arc in the DES of the high-current discharge circuit of the powerful high-voltage CES of the generator PCG-C, we obtain the following relation:
Rce = 78.92 "106 lce (Imdc/ce )"*.
(4)
It follows from (4) that as the current Imdc increases in the discharge circuit of the powerful CES, the maximum voltage drop Umdc=RceImdc on the pulse electric arc in the air DES will decrease. This is due to the fact that the degree of ionization of the gas in its discharge gap will also increase with the increase of the current Imdc due to an increase in the thermionic emission from the cathode of the DES. The increase in the ionization of gas in the air discharge gap of the DES will result in increase in the average specific electric conductivity yce of the electron-ion plasma of the channel of the arc under investigation. As a result of these electrophysical processes in the gas-discharge gap of the air DES,
according to (1), the equivalent active resistance Rce of its pulsed electric arc will be greatly reduced. As a result, this will lead to a decrease in the voltage Umdc on the pulsed electric arc in the air DES with an increase in the current amplitude Imdc. The established feature corresponds to the character of the behavior of the arc discharge in the DES described in [4]. This circumstance indirectly indicates the reliability of the obtained calculated relation (4) for the equivalent active resistance of the plasma channel of a pulsed arc electric discharge in an air DES.
As for the quantitative values for the quantity yce entering into (4), according to the calculated experimental data, they are numerically approximately 5000 (Q-m)-1 in the first approximation, taking into account (2). We will point out that for the highly ionized electron-ion plasma of the channel of pulse arc electric discharge in the air DES, the upper limit of the numerical values of yce can reach a level of the order of 20-103 (Q-m)-1 [1, 6].
In the calculated estimate of the largest electron temperature Tme in the electron-ion equilibrium plasma of a pulse arc discharge for an air DES, taking into account the assumptions made (3) and the thermophysical approach given in [12], the following approximate expression can be recommended:
Tme * 95.35 " 4Uac loc , (5)
where ctc=5.67-10-8 W-(m2-K4)-1 is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant [4]; Uac<11 V is the near-electrode voltage drop in the air DES with metal (graphite) electrodes (for the graphite anode Uac^Ua~11 V, and for the graphite cathode U^10 V [5]).
3. Powerful high-voltage CES of the generator PCG-C and its application for testing technical objects for lightning resistance. Fig. 1, 2 show the principal circuit diagram and the general view of the powerful CES of the generator PCG-C used in experimental studies of electrothermal lightning strength of test objects (TO) of various elements (for example, metal or composite plating) of various technical objects (for example, aircraft). The own electrical parameters of the discharge circuit of the generator PCG-C were equal [2]: the resistance is Rc~4.74 Q; inductance L^H.43 mH; capacitance is Cc~45.36 mF.
A powerful single-module CES of the PCG-C generator was assembled on the basis of 324 parallel-connected high-voltage pulse capacitors of the HM -5-140 type (rated voltage ±5 kV, nominal capacity 140 ^F) [2, 13]. The nominal value of the stored electrical energy in the CES of the PCG-C generator was WC0^567 kJ [2]. In accordance with Fig. 1 in the circuit of the generator of high-voltage ignition pulses (GHIP), a two-electrode air switch F with massive basic steel electrodes for voltage up to ±50 kV was installed and in the discharge circuit of the generator PCG-C a high-voltage two-electrode air switch F2 of the B^BK-10 type with rectangular graphite electrodes for voltage of up to ±10 kV [14] (Fig. 3).
accordance with the requirements of [8, 9], a thin copper electrically exploding wire (EEW) was used, having radius of re =0.1 mm and length le =37 mm. The air working gaps ha and he in this DES were 14 and 1 mm, respectively. In Fig. 5, in enlarged form, the external view of the air DES used in the high-voltage discharge circuit of the powerful CES of the high-voltage generator PCG-C is shown.

In practical approbation of the calculated ratios (4) and (5) with reference to the high-current discharge circuit of the PCG-C generator, an air DES was used, schematically shown in Fig. 4. To initiate an electrical breakdown of the air gap ha in this DES and in

The charging voltage of the high-voltage capacitors of the high-power CES of the generator PCG-C for choosing the appropriate experiments was chosen with negative polarity equal to Ucc < 4.2 kV. The choice of the polarity of the charging voltage Ucc was determined by the necessity to simulate the most severe conditions in the electrothermic sense in the investigated DES and, accordingly, in the circular zone of the fastening of a high-current cylindrical plasma channel of a pulsed electric arc with a long-term C- component of the artificial lightning current on the outer flat surface of the metal structure of the technical object. To prevent

4=37 mm) [10]
mechanical damage in a high-power capacitor bank of the PCG-C generator and to provide the required safety precautions for the high-voltage CES personnel undergoing maintenance by it during emergency operation (for example, with an electrical breakdown of the insulation of at least one of the 324 mentioned capacitors when they are charged or discharged) on all high-voltage terminals of the used capacitors of the CES of the generator PCG-C, protective resistances were constructed, made of high-voltage permanent graphite-ceramic resistors type TBO-6O at constant voltage up to ±25 kV [2, 15].
In the high-voltage CES of the generator PCG-C on the high-voltage terminals of each of 324 pcs of its capacitors type HM-5-140 to one protective resistor TBO-6O-IOO Q [2, 15] were fixed.
Synchronous operation of the spark switches Fl and F2 in the circuit in Fig. l was carried out by feeding a microsecond voltage pulse with amplitude up to ±100 kV [2, 14] through a high-voltage separation capacitor Cd to a spherical steel electrode 30 mm in diameter of the switch Fl from the GHIP.
In the case of an electric breakdown from the GHIP of the air working gap of the spark switch Fl and its subsequent operation, the resulting pulse overvoltage on the DES with the TO leads to an almost simultaneous operation with it and a spark switch F2. After the spark switches Fl, F2, the electric breakdown of the air gap of length he=l mm and the electrical explosion of a thin copper wire in the zone of the DES are triggered by the discharge of the pre-charged high-voltage capacitors of the CES generator PCG-C through the air DES and the metal shell of the technical object, long-term C- current components of artificial lightning with the required [8, 9] ATPs. Measurement of ATP for the long-term C-
components of the current of artificial lightning in the channel of the electric arc in the aerial DES and the metal shell of the object were carried out using a measuring coaxial shunt of the fflK-300 type [2, 14] certified by the state metrological service, having a conversion factor of KC~5642 A/V, and a digital storage oscilloscope Tektronix TDS 1012.
4. Results of experimental approbation of calculations of active resistance and temperature of the channel of pulse electric arc in the air DES. According to Fig. 1 and the above scientific and technical materials in the considered high-current discharge circuit of the powerful high-voltage generator of the PCG-C generator there are two air power plants connected in a common electrical circuit: the first one is directly in the zone of the TO placement of the sheet metal covering of the technical object with the air gap 14 mm; the second one - in the zone of the spark switch F2 with an interelectrode gap of air of length ha/^4 mm. It is the total air gap of these two DES with length lce=(ha + hak) and will determine the minimum total length of the pulsed electric arc channel in the high-current circuit of the powerful high-voltage CES of the generator PCG-C and, accordingly, its minimum total active resistance Rce. In Fig. 6 shows the oscillogram of a long-term C- component of the current of artificial lightning flowing through the above air DES and the metal shell of the object.
Fig. 6. The oscillogram of the long-term C- component of the current of artificial lightning with normalized ATPs in the high-
current circuit of the PCG-C generator at the discharge of its powerful CES on the air DES with an electrically exploding thin copper wire (re=0.l mm; 4=37 mm) and sheet TO from aluminum AMr2M alloy of 2 mm thickness (Ucc=-4.2 kV; Wc=400 kJ; Imdc=-0.869 kA; tnuk=9 ms; Tpd=l000 mc; qdc=l92 C; vertical scale: 282 A/cell; horizontal scale - 100 ms/cell)
From the data in Fig. 6 that the ATP used in the experiments of the long-term C- current component of the artificial lightning correspond to the requirements [8, 9] and to the characteristics of the pulse arc electric discharge in this air DES. Assuming that yce=5-l03 (Q-m)-1 [ll], /ce=l8-l0-3 m and Imdc=869 A, from (4) we find that
in the considered experimental case the total equivalent active resistance of the plasma channel of pulse electric arc in the investigated air DES will be not less than Rce =0.327 Q. The resulting calculated value of Rce will be up to 7% of the intrinsic active resistance of the RC of the discharge circuit of the powerful high-voltage generator of the PCG-C generator. Taking into account the data obtained in [6], it can be concluded that for identical values of lce and average plasma specific conductivity, equal to yce=5-103(Q-M)-1, in atmospheric air pressure of the high-current circuit of the powerful high-voltage CES, the equivalent active resistance of the pulse arc electric discharge channel at Imdc=0.869 kA (tmdc=9 ms; Tpdc=1 s) will be approximately 100 times greater than the equivalent active resistance of the channel of pulse spark electric discharge at Imd=202 kA (tmd=36 ^s; Tpd=0.5 ms). This result is explained for Rce in that for the specified ATPs the millisecond (with the amplitude Imdc) and the microsecond (with amplitude Imd) currents in the air DES, the maximum radius in (3) rcem=3.24 mm of the pulsed arc electric discharge channel turns out to be other things equal Conditions is practically an order of magnitude smaller than the maximum radius rcm=32.7 mm of the pulsed spark electric discharge channel, which satisfies the Braginsky formula for high currents of microsecond duration [1, 7, 16].
At Uac=Ua=11 V from the formula (5), we obtain that in the high-current experiment under consideration with the use of a powerful high-voltage CES of the PCG-C generator, the maximum electron temperature Tme of an equilibrium electron-ion plasma in a cylindrical channel of pulse arc discharge in an air DES for the switch type B^BK-10 (lce=4 mm) is approximately 11250 K. It can be seen that the calculated numerical value of the electron temperature Tme of the plasma in the brightly shining column (channel) of the pulsed electric arc near the graphite anode of the above air DES is in good agreement with the known thermodynamic data typical for the near-axis region of the classical arc discharge flowing in an air DES with graphite electrodes at atmospheric pressure and 200 A current [4, 5]. In this case, according to [5], in the near-axis zone of the «coal» («graphite») arc (lce=46 mm), which freely «burns» in the air DES, the temperature of its equilibrium plasma is about 104 K, and near the cathode - 1.2-104 K.
Conclusions.
1. A new relation (4) is obtained for approximate calculation of the equivalent active resistance Rce of the plasma channel of pulse electric arc in air DES of the high-current discharge circuit of a powerful high-voltage CES of a test electrophysical installation generating the long-term C- component of artificial lightning current.
2. For the calculated estimate of the maximum electron temperature Tme in equilibrium electron-ion low-temperature plasma of pulse arc electric discharge in the air DES with metallic (graphite) electrodes used in the described experiments of the powerful high-voltage CES
of the generator PCG-C, it is recommended that electrical engineers use the approximate formula (5).
3. High-voltage experiments carried out at the Scientific-&-Research Planning-&-Design Institute «Molniya» of the NTU «KhPI» on a powerful highvoltage CES of the PCG-C generator, which reproduces on the low-resistance load the long-term C-component of the current of artificial lightning with normalized ATPs in accordance with the current requirements of the US regulatory documents SAE ARP 5412: 2013 and SAE ARP 5416: 2013, confirmed the validity of the proposed calculation relationships (4) and (5) for determining the electrical and thermal physical values of Rce and Tme in the plasma channel of the pulsed arc discharge in air DES.
