hey,
can anyone tell me the formula to calculate breakdown voltage. I came across this one:
Vb= B*p*d/(C+In(p*d)) where
Vb=breakdown voltage
p=pressure
d=distance of the air gap
B=a constant
C=a constant
But I'm not too sure about this and basically this was all the info the site gave me, it didn't tell me what the constant meant or anything. Also, this formula seems to be, to calculate the breakdown voltage of air but I was hoping for a more general formula that could calculate the breakdown voltage of any insulator. If such a formula does not exist then one that would simply calculate the breakdown voltage of air would do.
Thanks in advance.
