Talk:Breakdown voltage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here is the old content

(preview) The voltage minimum that makes a insulator react as a conductor

(defn.) Is a parameter of a insulator that defines the Minimum voltage difference that can be applied across the material before the insulator collapses and conducts.

I changed minimum to maximum

you can see minimum and maximum can both be used to correctly describe breakdown voltage in different ways, but they were mixed up in one spot. Pogostix July 31, 2005
