Abstract
THE electrical breakdown of a gap bridged by dust deposits is frequently ascribed to the presence of the dust, bub little information on the conductivity characteristics of dust is available. These characteristics were therefore investigated for a typical sample of the following composition : volatile matter (oils), carbon, moisture, 55 per cent; metals and oxides (iron, copper, brass, iron and copper oxides), 36 per cent ; residue, complex silicates (clay), 9 per cent.
