Ceramic Breakdown Voltage

The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material and is independent of the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied.

Because of the fr4 limitations high voltage laminates that have a non conductive base layer and prevent arcing serve as the gold standard for.

Ceramic disc capacitors have a capacitance value of 10pf to 100μf with a wide variety of voltage ratings between 16 volts to 15 kv and more. Multi layer ceramic capacitor mlcc mlccs are manufactured by accurately mixing finely ground granules of paraelectric and ferroelectric materials and alternatively layering the mix with metal contacts. The limitations of this design are the specification of the hv coaxial cable and the breakdown voltage of the alumina ceramic 24 5 to 37 0 kv mm depending on purity and surface finish 42 43. The breakdown voltage of a ceramic dielectric layer may vary depending on the electrode material and the sintering conditions of the ceramic up to a factor of 10.

Breakdown voltage characteristics as a function of coating method and coating composition. Slow rate of rise method in this test method the voltage is applied to the test electrodes from the starting voltage 50 of the breakdown voltage until breakdown occurs. This intrinsic dielectric strength corresponds to what would be measured using pure materials.
