  • Abstract
    The dielectric strength of liquids has been found to depend on electrode area. A study of 1600 observations of transformer oil breakdown, using four pairs of uniform-field (Rogowski) gaps, has established the extremal(1) nature of such breakdown distributions, and yielded an area-effect equation which agrees closely with test results.
