Abstract :
The breakdown voltage of n-hexane measured in a point-plant test cell was found to increase with the number of breakdown events if the point had positive polarity. With a negative point, no such variation was observed. Cationic formation of polymer and deposition of polymer on the cathode is though to be the cause for this increase in breakdown voltage
