Statistical analysis of the dynamic voltage electrical breakdown in nitrogen

The statistical analysis of the electrical breakdown in nitrogen at p=20 mbar using dynamic method is presented in this paper. The analysis was performed for the working voltage increase rates 50, 150, and 300 Vs/sup -1/. For each working, voltage increase rate a 1000 measurements were done. It was shown that results are lined up accidentally without any systematic trend. New form of breakdown voltage density distribution is suggested and verified with histograms of the breakdown voltage.
