@scrap_engineering: 30KV Arc 💀 The high-voltage arc produced by a flyback transformer is a demonstration of dielectric breakdown. With high-frequency switching and magnetic induction, the transformer steps up low-level input to several kilovolts. When the electrical potential difference between the electrodes exceeds the dielectric strength of the air (approximately 30kV/cm), the air becomes ionized. This process strips electrons from gas molecules, transforming the insulating air into a conductive plasma channel. The resulting arc is intensely hot and luminous due to the rapid recombination of ions and electrons, which releases energy Do you want an explanation of the driving circuit? #highvoltage #electronics #electricalengineering #transformers #engineering
