Test Condition/Description
The voltage is measured with voltage ramp dv/dt=100V/s. Test is
between each side electrode and center electrode.
The maximum impulse spark-over voltage is measured with voltage
ramp dv/dt=1000V/μs. Test is between each side electrode and
center electrode.
Maximum surge current that can be applied through center electrode
with 8/20μs waveform, for 10 times with 3min interval time, which will
be equally divided between each side electrode to center electrode,
without causing the DC breakdown voltage to change more than 25%
from its initial measured value.
