By applying the streamer breamer breakdown criterion and the surface roughness factor, the effet of field distortion due to conductor surface roughness on breakdown is investigated theoretically in a uniform-field of compressed SF$_{6}$. It has been shown that the streamer constant has a significant influence on the threshold of breakdown and different shapes of protrusions do not result in different thresholds of breakdowns. Moreover, uniform-field tests can give results which apply to e-ratio coaxial-electrode systems of practical dimensions, and may offer some advantages compared with coaxial-electrode tests.s.
