Self-adjusting gap system for space charging mitigation and monitoring

Abstract

A self-adjusting gap system, including: a flexure connected to a first electrically isolated element, wherein the flexure allows motion or has a flexible element, and has an electrically conductive element; a contact fixture connected to a second electrically isolated element, wherein the second electrically isolated element is electrically isolated from the first electrically isolated element; and a contact point on one of the contact fixture and the flexure configured to be a discharge location for a discharge of a differential charge between the first electrically isolated element and the second electrically isolated element; wherein the flexure is configured to flex or move due to the differential charge to reduce an initial first gap between the flexure and the contact fixture.
