  • Abstract
    A test method based on combined measurement of voltage breakdown value and position is used to measure the microscopic electric field enhancement factor on copper and stainless steel electrodes in vacuum. This method is then used to evaluate the effectiveness of an industrial cleaning process. Process parameters are identified that positively influence the dielectric strength. An improvement of 15% is obtained.
