Flashover

Japanese: フラッシオーバー(英語表記)flashover
Flashover
A state in which electrodes in a gas are bridged by a discharge path. The form of discharge at this time corresponds to a spark discharge. The same term may be used in liquids. The word "flashover" was used in the past, but when the character "閃" was removed from the list of kanji used in common use, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan wrote the English word "flashover" in this way and adopted it as the official term, and since then it has been widely used as a technical term in Japan. The voltage at which a flashover occurs is called the flashover voltage (often abbreviated as FOV), and the probability of a flashover occurring when a constant voltage is applied is called the flashover rate.

Japanese:
気体中の電極間が放電路によって橋絡されること。このときの放電形式が火花放電に対応する。液体中で同じ用語が用いられる場合がある。以前は閃絡ということばが用いられていたが,閃が当用漢字から外された折に,電気学会が英語のflashoverをこのように記述して正式な用語に採用して以来,日本の技術用語として広く使用されている。フラッシオーバーを生ずる電圧をフラッシオーバー電圧(しばしばFOVと略記される),一定電圧を印加したときにフラッシオーバーを生ずる確率をフラッシオーバー率という。
