| breakdown |
The failure of insulation to effectively prevent the flow of current, sometimes evidenced by arcing. If voltage is gradually raised, breakdown will begin at a certain voltage level (whereby current flow is not directly proportional to voltage). Once breakdown current flows, especially for a period of time, the next gradual application of voltage will often show breakdown beginning at a lower voltage than initially measured.
