Measurements of the breakdown strength of purified organic liquids have been made using rectangular voltage pulses of duration between 0.2 and 20 microseconds. The effects of cathode metal, γ-radiation and of changes in pulse duration, electrode separation, temperature, constitution of the liquid, etc. lead to a theory of breakdown according to which an instability arises as a result of electron emission from the cathode and field distortion due to the movement of ions between the electrodes. Conduction measurements support the view that strong fields produce conduction by field emission from the cathode, together with ionization of the liquid molecules by electron collisions. This theory of breakdown accounts for the dependence of breakdown strength on electrode separation, cathode metal and pulse duration. It also suggests the relationship between breakdown strength and the temperature and constitution of the liquid.
