The contacts in question have no really sharp points and they have a
measured breakdown potential of c. 5kV. I have spoken with a number of
SB-1000 owners whose bandswitch continued to arc with the Rauchian
anti-corona kit.
On the test bench, I have not been able to generate much corona with
under 8kV.
