At least two in-flight anomalies have been identified as related to event-triggered discharges, one of the initiating cause beeing photoemission and the second a local sudden pressure pulse due to a thruster firing. Triggering events such as photon illumination, micrometeorid impact, plasma and/or pressure pulse have been identified. On an other side, when a primary dielectric discharge occurs in the vicinity of biased electrodes, a full insulation breakdown or a damaging secondary arc is likely to be triggered. This phenomenology has now been clearly expertised as the cause of power losses having recently occured on geosynchronous satellites. Past and more recent experimental results are presented.
