- the DC voltage V 2 d is applied to the second external electrode 10 even when the pulse voltage V 2p is not applied. For this reason, even when the pulsed voltage V 2p is not applied, a weak corona discharge is generated in the second external electrode 10. Further, as the interval S 2 between the pulse voltage V 2p becomes longer, the frequency of strong corona discharge of the needle electrode 10 B decreases, and the charging efficiency for the paint particles decreases.

- the coating particles sprayed from the rotary atomizing head 4 are indirectly charged with a high voltage by passing through the thickening zone. Then, the charged paint particles (charged paint particles) fly along the electrostatic field formed between the needle-like electrode 8 B and the object A and are applied to the object A.
- the second external electrode 10 is arranged closer to the rotary atomizing head 4 than the first external electrode 8, so the second external electrode 10 is a rotary fog. It can be used as a paint particle charging electrode that charges paint particles sprayed from the chemical head 4.
- the second external electrode 10 Since the second external electrode 10 is arranged closer to the rotary atomization port 4 than the first external electrode 8, the second external electrode 10 and the rotary atomization head 4 which is the ground body Therefore, a voltage lower than that of the first external electrode 8 must be applied to the second external electrode 10 so that no spark occurs between the first external electrode 10 and the DC voltage to the second external electrode 10. Is applied, the corona discharge is less likely to occur as much as the voltage is lower, and the charging efficiency for the paint particles tends to decrease.
- the reason why a stronger corona discharge is easily stuck (concentrated) in one place is that the current flows and is ionized by the discharge. This is because the local apparent insulation resistance further decreases. As a result, it becomes easy to progress to a streamer only around one electrode. For this reason, the needle electrode 10 0 B of the second external electrode 10 is placed around the rotary atomizing head 4.

- the first external electrode 8 can recharge the paint particles floating around it by generating a corona discharge, for example, the first external electrode 8 was sprayed from the rotary atomizing head 4. Even when a part of the paint particles is not charged by the second external electrode 10, the paint particles can be recharged by using the first external electrode 8. This It is possible to reduce the paint particles floating around the eight-housing member 6 by losing the charge, and the paint application efficiency can be increased.
- the first external electrode 8 functions to form an electrostatic field with the object A to be coated, and the second external electrode 10 functions to charge the paint particles. For this reason, each of the external electrodes 8 10 can set the voltages V 1 and V 2 with high accuracy for its function, so that the coating efficiency can be improved. It can be reduced.
- the interval S 2 between 2 p is the period from when the number of positive ions decreases until a stable corner discharge without the second external electrode 10 occurs.

- the insulation pile around the second external electrode 10 can be made high.
- the second external electrode 10 is pulsed. Even if the avalanche increases when the voltage V 2p is applied, the number of positive currents is decreased when the next pulse voltage V 2 p is applied, and the electron around the second external electrode 10 is reduced. It is possible to return to the state before the avalanche increased (the state where the weak corona discharge continued), and the progress of the slimmer can be surely prevented.
- the second external electrode 10 is formed by using the needle electrode 10 B whose tip is located around the rotary atomizing head 4, so that the electric field is concentrated on the tip of the needle electrode 10 B. Corona discharge can be promoted.
