The results of the electrical breakdown investigation in neon at Paschen's minimum, using a dynamic method with applying surface law are presented in this paper. The investigations were performed for applied voltage increase rates from 0.1 to 300 V/s. Two hundred measurements were done for each of applied voltage increase rates, while the number of measurements was 1000 for establishing the breakdown voltage distributions. Using the Mann‐Whitney's test it was shown that the results appear randomly without any systematic error. A new form of breakdown voltage density distribution is suggested. Some of the V ‐ t characteristics are given and the validity of the surface law is con.rmed for the low pressure gas breakdown.
