Positive corona discharges in dry air at atmospheric pressure operating with a pulsed voltage supply are electrically analyzed for a multitip configuration using an increasing number of tips, from one up to six. The peak value of the instantaneous discharge current as a function of the number of tips and the modification of the branching structure are discussed.
