Abstract
Results of a study of streamer initiation in organic liquids under uniform field conditions are presented. It is shown that, under pulse conditions, streamers can initiate from both the cathode and the anode, with the probability for the occurrence of the latter event being somewhat lower than that for the former. The significance of these findings is discussed in terms of initiation models developed for streamer initiation under nonuniform field conditions
