Abstract:

Vacuum insulation is widely used in various instruments and installations. However, the mechanisms of the processes which occur in the vacuum gap both in the prebreakdown region and during breakdown cannot be considered sufficiently clear, although these questions have been the subject of numerous studies. This book is a systematized presentation of experimental data and a certain generalization of information on vacuum electrical insulation and self-maintained discharge in a vacuum.
