An experimental investigation of the effect of a cuprous oxide coating upon the surface flashover of high-density alumina in vacuum is reported. It is shown that such coatings improve the impulse strength of the system and eliminate the conditioning effect observed in the case of uncoated specimens at dc and 60-Hz voltages. An explanation of the observed behavior is given in terms of a surface charging model. It is postulated that the improvement in the insulation by the coatings is due to a reduction in the secondary electron emission yield.
