Abstract

In a hydrogen cooled dynamoelectric machine, an ion chamber detector monitors thermally produced particulates. Specificity and sensitivity of the ion chamber detector are improved by applying an electrical potential of a limited predetermined range to the electrodes of the detector and operation of the detector occurs within a well defined subsaturation range.
