May 26, 2017 at 20:23 comment added Jon Custer What you would get by extrapolating from Paschen curves is probably not very useful for estimating the real breakdown. Instead of being a gas/volume question, it will be a surface finish and surface contamination question. This makes it almost impossible to come up with an analytical solution. You may need in situ plasma cleaning and/or conditioning runs to get maximum breakdown voltages.
