Versatile Paschen's model for the dielectric strength estimation of binary and ternary gas mixtures

The dielectric strength of various binary and ternary gas mixtures is accurately estimated by using the proposed versatile Paschen's model. Unlike the conventional Paschen's models, the new model is based on the improved regression process of the ionization coefficients that results in enhanced accuracy in the dielectric strength estimations of pure gases as well as binary and ternary gas mixtures. Compared to the conventional models, the dielectric strength values estimated by the proposed model and the experimental breakdown measurements show more close and consistent agreement. The results confirm the effectiveness, versatility, and veracity of the proposed Paschen's model in estimating the dielectric strength of gas media.
