“…These studies noted that the breakdown voltage is a function of the distance between the electrodes and their shape, the dimensions, the nature and position of the barrier and the applied voltage type [12], [26]. The investigations were conducted using three types of voltage: DC voltage [16], [18], [24]− [26], AC voltage [1], [15], [17], [26] and impulse [8]− [10], [19]. The maximum disruption voltage is often obtained when the barrier is placed close to the sharp electrode (up to 25% of the studied interval length) [1], [8], [11], [26].…”
