| 41. | Depending on the breakdown voltage of the spark gap, it may fire many times during a mains AC cycle.
|
| 42. | This phenomenon is the same as the breakdown of a capacitor ( condenser ) ( see also breakdown voltage ).
|
| 43. | A conventional solid-state diode allows significant current if it is reverse-biased above its reverse breakdown voltage.
|
| 44. | This circuit lowers the output voltage by a quantity that is equal to the Zener diode's breakdown voltage.
|
| 45. | Neon and other noble gases have a high breakdown voltage, so that normally current will not flow across it.
|
| 46. | BR is the breakdown voltage and " n " is an empirically derived value between 2 and 6.
|
| 47. | The separation of the electrodes and the voltage proof of the dielectric material defines the breakdown voltage of the capacitor.
|
| 48. | A standard test voltage is applied ( below the established Breakdown Voltage ) and the resulting leakage current is monitored.
|
| 49. | Breakdown voltages also increase with the gas pressure; many gases however have limited upper pressure due to their liquefaction.
|
| 50. | When the reverse bias breakdown voltage is exceeded, a conventional diode is subject to high current due to avalanche breakdown.
