In this study, the effect of electrode configurations on breakdown performances of polyethylene terephthalate, presspaper and styrene-butadiene rubber/natural rubber blend is investigated with the considerations of electrode area and field enhancement factor. Cylinder-cylinder, spherical-cylinder and point-cylinder electrode configurations are used for breakdown experiments and the measurements are taken according to the rapid-rise method. Characteristic breakdown voltages of the materials are obtained for each electrode configuration by performing Weibull analysis on experimental results. Based
