Significance and Use5.1 Amajor factor affecting the life of insulating materials isthermal degradation. Other factors, such as moisture andvibration, are able to ca

Test Specimen Selection8.1 Select test specimens from the sample in such mannerthat they are randomly distributed among the sets.NOTE 3This is conveniently accomplished by the followingprocedure, as an example: In the case of full-width material in rolls orsheets, select an

31、 area sufficient to provide a panel about 1 m (3.28 ft) wideby 3 m (9.84 ft) long. Using a suitable marking device, construct a grid of7 lines spaced 130 mm (5.12 in.) across and 12 lines spaced 250 mm(9.84 in.) down, with an edge margin of about 50 mm (1.97 in.) on eachside. This will provide 84 bo

32、xes, each delineating a test specimen. Numberthe boxes consecutively across and down the grid. Using a set of randomnumbers, obtain a selection of 16 sets of test specimens. In the case of slitmaterial in rolls, number specimens as removed from the roll and obtaina random selection of test sets as i

33、n 8.1.9. Selection of Test Temperatures9.1 Expose the material at not less than three temperatures.Any temperature that gives a thermal life of less than 100 h isconsidered too high to be used in this evaluation. Choose thelowest temperature such that (1) a thermal life of at least5000 h is obtained

34、 and (2) it shall not be more than 25C higherthan the estimated temperature index. Exposure temperaturesshall differ by at least 20C.9.2 Select exposure temperatures in accordance with thoseshown in Table 1 as indicated by the anticipated temperatureindex of the material under test. It is recommende

35、d thatexploratory tests be first made at the highest temperature toobtain data establishing the validity of the 100 h minimum liferequirement (see 9.1), and that this be used as a guide for theselection of the lower test temperatures.10.

36、ing the performance of this test. It is essential that the testapparatus, and all associated equipment electrically connectedto it, be properly designed and installed for safe operation.Solidly ground all electrically conductive parts which it ispossible for a person to contact during the test. Prov

37、ide meansfor use at the completion of any test to ground any parts whichwere at high voltage during the test or have the potential foracquiring an induced charge during the test or retaining acharge even after disconnection of the voltage source. Thor-oughly instruct all operators as to the correct

38、procedures forperforming tests safely. When making high voltage tests,particularly in compressed gas or in oil, it is possible for theenergy released at breakdown to be suffcient to result in fire,explosion, or rupture of the test chamber.
