RE: Streamer breakout voltages for toroids and spheres

Gavin and list theoreticians,
Of course it complicated, what did you expect ?

Check out this book:

High Voltage Engineering Fundamentals, 
E. Kuffel Engr Dean U of Manitoba, W.S. Zaengl EE Prof Zurich

ISBN 0-08-024212-X (soft cover)
ISBN 0-08-024213-8 (hard cover)

I think it may have some answers for you.
This is a college text with theory, graphs, formulas AND 
nice HV apparatus Pictures, a must for any serious HV'er !

Regards, Dale

Hi all,
does anyone have a mathematical formula for calculating the voltage
required for steamer breakout for toroids and sphere isotropic top
capacities (i.e. a voltage for a given sphere diameter/toroid
dimensions.
I was thinking along the lines of calculating the charge density and
dividing it by the permitivity of free space, then I got stuck!

Thanks in advance for your help,

Regards,  Gavin, U.K.
