As the spacing between the plates of the Cell is about 3/16 of an inch, the sample should not break down at this voltage unless it is in very poor condition.

apagarse
In my humble opinion I think that a suitable translation would be apagarse. In English we say there was a break down, which in Spanish is translated as apagón.
I hope it helps you a lot.
