Abstract
Electrical breakdown in air has been extensively studied by a large number of investigators and the already published literature on this subject has contributed toward an understanding of the mechanism of breakdown. The differences between the sparkover voltages and breakdown mechanisms of rod - rod and rod - plane gaps suggest that the examination of intermediate gap configurations’ would be of interest.
