Medical, industrial, and environmental applications of pulsed power technology have been developing rapidly in many fields including bioelectrics for cancer treatment and induction of apoptosis; treatment of exhaust gases; sterilization of microorganism; removal of biological wastes; fragmentation of rocks; recycling of concrete and electrical appliances; and surface treatments of material[1]. The application of electric fields with a short pulse width allows direct interaction with biological cells substructure without heating the tissue[2], which suggests interesting comparison and/or combination with shock waves for medical applications. The breakdown phenomena in liquids have been studied for a long time, in particular for its relation to electrical insulation.
