Influence of test method and gas pressure on negative lightning impulse breakdown voltage in ultra-pure water

Evaluation of statistical methods used in the estimation of breakdown voltage distribution

“…The methods have been used for years for determining the breakdown voltage of gaseous [24][25][26][27] and liquid insulation [28][29][30][31], and are considered consolidated techniques without questions as to their reliability. However, there are very few studies that analyse the methods themselves [32][33][34], and even in these works their reliability was not analysed as a function of their parameters.…”
