Abstract

This article presents the single string circuit analysis of a high voltage solar array used in spacecraft for two standard modes namely decoupled mode and limited current mode of ground test ESD experiment. A linear circuit model is used to characterize the cover glass, solar cell interconnect, wiring by an LCR circuit and the primary arc by an equivalent LR circuit. This work discusses the effect of bias voltage and body capacitance in terms of discharge current profile, charge loss, primary arc current amplitude and duration.
