Rikkoutumisjännitteellä
Rikkoutumisjännitteellä refers to the breakdown voltage in Finnish. It is a fundamental electrical property of insulating materials, indicating the maximum electric field strength a material can withstand before it begins to conduct electricity. When an insulating material is subjected to an electric field exceeding its breakdown voltage, its molecular structure is ionized, leading to a significant increase in conductivity. This phenomenon can cause permanent damage to the insulator and lead to electrical failure, such as short circuits or arcing.
The breakdown voltage is influenced by several factors, including the type of insulating material, its thickness,
