Abstract
A new explanation of the 'total voltage effect' is offered. It is base d on the mechanism of vacuum breakdown proposed earlier. According to this mechanism, the vacuum breakdown at an electric field of 10 MV/m i s caused by the ionization process in the gas desorbed from the pores and cracks in the negative electrode surface. It has been found that t he larger the distance between the electrodes, the deeper the electric field of constant strength reaches into the pores. The total current effect is explained to occur due to the same process.
