WHAT DOES BRUSH DISCHARGE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Brush discharge

A brush discharge is a type of corona discharge that takes place between two electrodes embedded in a nonconducting medium and is characterized by nonsparking, faintly luciferous furcations composed of ionized particles. Brush discharges can occur from charged insulating plastics to a conductor. The maximum energy associated with brush discharges is unlikely to exceed 4 mJ. Such discharges may be incendive but are less likely to cause ignition of a solvent - air mixture than an electrostatic discharge between two conductors.

Definition of brush discharge in the English dictionary

The definition of brush discharge in the dictionary is a slightly luminous electrical discharge between points of high charge density when the charge density is insufficient to cause a spark or around sharp points on a highly charged conductor because of ionization of air molecules in their vicinity.
