Abstract

We have experimentally studied electric and time-spatial characteristics of volume discharge and transition
from a volume burning stage to a channel stage nearby atmospheric pressure. We have shown that in
conditions of strong preliminary ionization the discharge has a volume structure of the current in a wide
range of initial voltage, and the duration of this stage decreases with the growth of current density and
gas pressure.
