Abstract :
Lives of pin-plane and sphere-plane configurations were investigated. The number of impulses required to produce breakdown depended on the applied stress, the specimen thickness and area, and the resin formulation. Theoretical models were constructed suggesting an avalanche or streamer type of breakdown destroying dielectric near the anode. Breakdown parameters were estimated.
