| Abstract | The Paschen breakdown is the outcome of an avalanche effect related with the ionization of a gas under electric stress. Paschen's law defines the voltage breakdown of rarefied (low pressure) gases as a function of the product of pressure and distance between electrodes showing a minimum value (typically of the order of hundreds V) below which the breakdown cannot take place. The actual field level depends on the gas, on the shape, material and surface conditions (roughness, cleanness and presence of oxide layers) of the electrodes; hence there is a big dispersion in the results available due to the referred number of parameters influencing the voltage breakdown. The design of the electrical insulation of superconducting magnets targets a safety factor of ×10 on dielectric strength over specified voltages using the intrinsic dielectric strength of the materials. A crack in the insulation or a flaw not detected by visual inspection would not necessarily lead to an electrical break during the acceptance tests in air given the high dielectric strength of air (typically values over 1 kV/mm). However, it would lead to an electrical failure during operation if Paschen conditions take place. Since the Paschen minimum occurs under vacuum, it is irrelevant for conventional High Voltage (HV) engineering. The application of superconducting technology for plasma fusion devices with a growing size and complexity of magnets has shown Paschen testing as an essential tool. During magnet operation inside the cryostat conditions, if a He leak takes place, critical pressures can be reached locally and Paschen breakdown might occur at voltages significantly lower than the designed ones. The present paper covers an existing gap in International Standards and scientific literature addressing Paschen testing of superconducting magnets and explains why it is needed and how the tests should be done in the most efficient way. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
