Hi all,
Another place this shows up occasionally is in high voltage door knob
capacitors. This was pointed out by Bob Sutherland, W6PO, many years ago, and
he
called it silver migration.
Wonder if this phenomena could be responsible for some of the power tube
flashovers we have seen from time to time? Could be the flashover blows away
the
"whisker" and all is ok for a long period of time afterwards.
73,
Gerald K5GW
