breakdown voltage in a sentence

Examples

1. Depending on the breakdown voltage of the spark gap, it may fire many times during a mains AC cycle.
2. This phenomenon is the same as the breakdown of a capacitor ( condenser ) ( see also breakdown voltage ).
3. A conventional solid-state diode allows significant current if it is reverse-biased above its reverse breakdown voltage.
4. This circuit lowers the output voltage by a quantity that is equal to the Zener diode's breakdown voltage.
5. Neon and other noble gases have a high breakdown voltage, so that normally current will not flow across it.
6. BR is the breakdown voltage and " n " is an empirically derived value between 2 and 6.
7. The separation of the electrodes and the voltage proof of the dielectric material defines the breakdown voltage of the capacitor.
8. A standard test voltage is applied ( below the established Breakdown Voltage ) and the resulting leakage current is monitored.
9. Breakdown voltages also increase with the gas pressure; many gases however have limited upper pressure due to their liquefaction.
10. When the reverse bias breakdown voltage is exceeded, a conventional diode is subject to high current due to avalanche breakdown.
