Abstract
We measure the creepage breakdown characteristics of printed wiring boards in silicone gel and obtain an experimental equation. This equation allows us to consider separately the different factors (creepage distance, intrinsic capacity, relative permittivity, insulation layer thickness and electrode location) affecting breakdown voltage. Further, we are able to predict accurately the breakdown limit of insulation in two planes
