We have been extending and refining our model of vacuum breakdown and gradient limits and will describe recent developments. The model considers a large number of mechanisms but finds that vacuum arcs can be described fairly simply and self consistently, however simulations of individual mechanisms can be, in some cases, involved. Although based on accelerator rf data, we believe our model of vacuum arcs should have general applicability.
