多功能人工气候室内模拟高海拔地区的气压，按照IEC对棒－板间隙试验方法的要求对200mm、300mm和450mm3种正棒－板短空气间隙雷电冲击放电特性进行了系统的试验研究。根据理论分析，提出了由于气压是大气3个基本参数即温度、空气相对密度和绝对湿度的综合反映，因此可以作为表征大气条件对空气间隙击穿电压影响的特征量；根据试验结果，提出了高海拔地区的短空气间隙雷电冲击击穿电压的是相对气压的幂函数，且其特征指数小于1，并因此得出海拔每升高1km，其击穿电压下降8.7%。

The air pressure of the high altitude condition in the artificial climate chamber is simulated, and the laboratory investigation of positive rod plate lightning impulse discharge performance were carried out on the short air gaps of 200 mm, 300 mm and 450 mm according to the test method demanded in IEC 60.1. Based the tested results, it is put forward that the positive lightning impulse breakdown voltage of a short air gap at the air pressure of the high altitude district is a power function of the air pressure with a special index less than 1, which indicates that the effect of the air pressure on the breakdown voltage decreases by 8.7% with the increase of the altitude by 1 kilometer. According to the theoretical analysis, it is proposed that the air pressure suggests the comprehensive changes of the basic atmospheric parameters of the temperature, the reltive air density and the absolute humidity, thus it could be used as the characteristic variable which expresses the effect of the absolute humidity, thus it could be used as the characteristic variable which expresses the effect of the atmospheric condition on the breakdown voltage of an air gap.
