Abstract
Surface flashover characteristics under atmospheric conditions are very important for the performance of devices. However, after the metal–ceramic–metal structure is assembled, there may be a gap between the metal electrode and the ceramic, which will affect the withstand voltage performance. In order to study this situation, metal–ceramic–metal structures with electrode spacing of 0.5–2.5 mm in the atmosphere are studied in this article, the influence of a 0.2-mm gap between the electrode and the ceramic is analyzed by measuring the breakdown voltage and diagnosing the luminescence of the breakdown process; then, the simulation model is established by using a particle-in-cell-coupled Monte Carlo collision (PIC-MCC) code, the density distributions of electrons and ions during the breakdown process are presented, and the influence of electric field on electrons motion is analyzed. Finally, the influence of different surface distances on breakdown voltage is explained. This provides support for further improving the withstand voltage performance of devices.
