Maintaining the electric fields necessary for the current generation of noble liquid time projection chambers (TPCs), with drift lengths exceeding one meter, requires a large negative voltage applied to their cathodes. Delivering such high voltage is associated with an elevated risk of electrostatic discharge and electroluminescence, which would be detrimental to the performance of the TPC. The Xenon Breakdown Apparatus (XeBrA) is a five-liter high-voltage test chamber built to investigate the factors contributing to high voltage breakdown in noble liquids. In this work, we present data collected during 2020-21 and compare them to previous data gathered in 2018. Area scaling and surface finish were observed to be the dominant factors affecting breakdown. Based on these results, we recommend that the next generation of TPCs should not withstand fields larger than 20 kV/cm on the electrode surfaces. In addition, small electrical activity was frequently observed during high voltage ramps prior to electrostatic discharge. Furthermore, the position of breakdowns was reconstructed with a system of high-speed cameras and good agreement with electric field simulations was found.
