Abstract
The experimental results on breakdown characteristics of a discharge gap containing water vapor are presented. The results obtained show that the breakdown voltage between metal electrodes placed above water and when one electrode is immersed in water significantly increases at a saturated vapor temperature of 90°C and above. This effect can be an explanation of the features of the electric discharge development above the water surface.
