A description is given of two generalized models of impulse breakdown, which provide a theoretical basis for the integration method. The first is a physical approach, in which the breakdown criterion is the critical size of the relevant physical process. The second is an energy approach, which proposes that breakdown follows when the energy delivered to an incipient and filamentary (prebreakdown) channel reaches a critical value. It is found that the two approaches give the integration method a… CONTINUE READING
