[TCML] Re: Breakdown voltages of toroids
Hello All,
I know there was a long thread on this topic
several years ago, but the calculations seemed
to be based on the breakdown voltages Between
equally sized toroids rather than breakdown
to air.
Does anyone have this equation, a table, or
if the information posted in 2003 is appropriate
also for breakdown to air, can someone extend these
values to larger toroid sizes ? ( 12" 15" 18" etc )
I attempted to extrapolate the data in Excel, but
the curves are too non linear for any useful accuracy.
Thanks,
Alex P

Ok. Instead of a 2 cm sphere, I will use a 20 cm sphere as start, to
avoid ridiculously small toroids. Anyway, the scaling mentioned in the
other post continue to be valid for other sizes. But what I said about
capacitance scaling was wrong. The breakdown voltage and the capacitance
are both directly proportional to the scaling factor of the dimensions.
20 cm sphere: 300 kV 11.1 pF
20x10 cm toroid: 226 kV 9.69 pF
20x9 cm toroid: 216 kV 9.50 pF
20x8 cm toroid: 205 kV 9.31 pF
20x7 cm toroid: 193 kV 9.09 pF
20x6 cm toroid: 180 kV 8.86 pF
20x5 cm toroid: 164 kV 8.60 pF
20x4 cm toroid: 147 kV 8.30 pF
20x3 cm toroid: 126 kV 7.92 pF
20x2 cm toroid: 99.9 kV 7.41 pF
20x1 cm toroid: 63.9 kV 6.62 pF
