In the third part of the article on the statistical scatter of breakdown voltages of transformer oil by Vitaly Gurin and Marius Grisaru, the focus shifts to the area and volume effects on breakdown voltage (BDV). While BDV decreases linearly with area on a logarithmic scale, CV% shows no clear trend. Limited data prevents quantitative recommendations, requiring further verification.
