Proceedings of the Second Workshop on Voltage Breakdown in Electronic Equipment at Low Air Pressure

The Second Workshop on Voltage Breakdown in Electronic Equipment at Low Air Pressure was sponsored by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. It has been three and one-half years since the convening of the first workshop on voltage breakdown. In this interval, gains are evidenced in the progress and sophistication in solving voltage breakdown problems affecting electronic equip­ment operating at high altitudes or other low air pressure environments. Although space applications predominate the area of concern, other projects such as the SST are becoming increasingly involved with voltage breakdown. High-voltage breakdown in spacecraft continues; however, the incidences of occurrence appear to have decreased in spite of an increase in the number of missions flown. This, it is felt, is due to many project managers now requiring all equipment with voltage in excess of 270-V peak to be designed to operate in the critical pressure region without damage, even though its normal functional environment is sea level pressure and the hard vacuum of space. In addition, designers are becoming more aware of the principle of good high-voltage design by selecting void-free components, proper spacing of conductors, isolating high-­voltage circuitry from lower voltage areas, etc. The consensus seems to be that the slight increase in cost to achieve a provable corona-free design is more than offset by the increase in confidence that the equipment will survive accidental loss of vacuum during high-vacuum tests, inadvertent turn on while passing through the critical air-pressure region of earth after launch or outgassing in flight pressurizing the enclosure into the critical pressure region.
