When the voltage across a gap containing a gas is increased by only an extremely small, fractional amount in the "breakdown voltage" region, the gap changes from a very good insulator to a good conductor. Although the breakdown voltage may be accurately predicted by the Townsend mechanism, the actual breakdown process has been subject to continuing controversy.
