21、ology D1711.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Alternating voltage at a commercial power frequency(60 Hz, unless otherwise specified) is applied to a testspecimen. The voltage is increased from zero or from a levelwell below the breakdown voltage, in one of three prescribedmethods of voltage application,

22、until dielectric failure of thetest specimen occurs.4.2 Most commonly, the test voltage is applied using simpletest electrodes on opposite faces of specimens. The options forthe specimens are that they be molded or cast, or cut from flatsheet or plate. Other electrode and specimen configurations are

23、also suitable for use to accommodate the geometry of thesample material, or to simulate a specific application for whichthe material is being evaluated.5. Significance and Use5.1 The dielectric strength of an electrical insulating mate-rial is a property of interest for any application where anelect

24、rical field will be present. In many cases the dielectricstrength of a material will be the determining factor in thedesign of the apparatus in which it is to be used.5.2 Tests made as specified herein are suitable for use toprovide part of the information needed for determining suit-ability of a ma

25、terial for a given application; and also, fordetecting changes or deviations from normal characteristicsresulting from processing variables, aging conditions, or othermanufacturing or environmental situations. This test method isuseful for process control, acceptance or research testing.5.3 Results

26、obtained by this test method can seldom be useddirectly to determine the dielectric behavior of a material in anactual application. In most cases it is necessary that theseresults be evaluated by comparison with results obtained fromother functional tests or from tests on other materials, or both,in

27、 order to estimate their significance for a particular material.5.4 Three methods for voltage application are specified inSection 12: Method A, Short-Time Test; Method B, Step-by-Step Test; and Method C, Slow Rate-of-Rise Test. MethodAisthe most commonly-used test for quality-control tests.However,

28、the longer-time tests, Methods B and C, whichusually will give lower test results, will potentially give moremeaningful results when different materials are being com-pared with each other. If a test set with motor-driven voltagecontrol is available, the slow rate-of-rise test is simpler andpreferab

29、le to the step-by-step test. The results obtained fromMethods B and C are comparable to each other.5.5 Documents specifying the use of this test method shallalso specify:5.5.1 Method of voltage application,5.5.2 Voltage rate-of-rise, if slow rate-of-rise method isspecified,5.5.3 Specimen selection,

30、preparation, and conditioning,5.5.4 Surrounding medium and temperature during test,5.5.5 Electrodes,5.5.6 Wherever possible, the failure criterion of the current-sensing element, and5.5.7 Any desired deviations from the recommended proce-dures as given.5.6 If any of the requirements listed in 5.5 ar

31、e missing fromthe specifying document, then the recommendations for theseveral variables shall be followed.5.7 Unless the items listed in 5.5 are specified, tests madewith such inadequate reference to this test method are not inconformance with this test method. If the items listed in 5.5 arenot clo

32、sely controlled during the test, it is possible that theprecisions stated in 15.2 and 15.3 will not be obtained.5.8 Variations in the failure criteria (current setting andresponse time) of the current sensing element significantlyaffect the test results.5.9 Appendix X1. contains a more complete disc

Apparatus6.1 Voltage SourceObtain the test voltage from a step-uptransformer supplied from a variable sinusoidal low-voltage6Available from International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), 3 rue deVaremb, Case postale 131, CH-1211, Geneva 20,

The transformer, its voltage source, and the associatedcontrols shall have the following capabilities:6.1.1 The ratio o

35、f crest to root-mean-square (rms) testvoltage shall be equal to =265%1.34 to 1.48!, with the testspecimen in the circuit, at all voltages greater than 50 % of thebreakdown voltage.6.1.2 The capacity of the source shall be sufficient tomaintain the test voltage until dielectric breakdown occurs. Form

36、ost materials, using electrodes similar to those shown inTable 1, an output current capacity of 40 mA is usuallysatisfactory. For more complex electrode structures, or fortesting high-loss materials, it is possible that higher currentcapacity will be needed. The power rating for most tests willvary

37、from 0.5 kVA for testing low-capacitance specimens atvoltages up to 10 kV, to 5 kVA for voltages up to 100 kV.6.1.3 The controls on the variable low-voltage source shallbe capable of varying the supply voltage and the resultant testvoltage smoothly, uniformly, and without overshoots ortransients, in

38、 accordance with 12.2. Do not allow the peakvoltage to exceed 1.48 times the indicated rms test voltageunder any circumstance. Motor-driven controls are preferablefor making short-time (see 12.2.1) or slow-rate-of-rise (see12.2.3) tests.6.1.4 Equip the voltage source with a circuit-breakingdevice th

39、at will operate within three cycles. The device shalldisconnect the voltage-source equipment from the powerservice and protect it from overload as a result of specimenbreakdown causing an overload of the testing apparatus. Ifprolonged current follows breakdown it will result in unnec-essary burning

40、of the test specimens, pitting of the electrodes,and contamination of any liquid surrounding medium.6.1.5 It is important for the circuit-breaking device to havean adjustable current-sensing element in the step-up trans-former secondary, to allow for adjustment consistent with thespecimen characteri

41、stics and arranged to sense specimen cur-rent. Set the sensing element to respond to a current that isindicative of specimen breakdown as defined in 12.3.6.1.6 The current setting is likely to have a significant effecton the test results. Make the setting high enough that transients,such as partial

42、discharges, will not trip the breaker but not sohigh that excessive burning of the specimen, with resultantelectrode damage, will occur on breakdown. The optimumcurrent setting is not the same for all specimens and dependingupon the intended use of the material and the purpose of thetest, it is ofte

43、n desirable to make tests on a given sample atmore than one current setting. The electrode area is likely tohave a significant effect upon the choice of current setting.6.1.7 It is possible that the specimen current-sensing ele-ment will be in the primary of the step-up transformer.Calibrate the cur

44、rent-sensing dial in terms of specimen current.6.1.8 Exercise care in setting the response of the currentcontrol. If the control is set too high, the circuit will notrespond when breakdown occurs; if set too low, it is possiblethat it will respond to leakage currents, capacitive currents, orpartial

45、discharge (corona) currents or, when the sensing ele-ment is located in the primary, to the step-up transformermagnetizing current.6.2 Voltage MeasurementA voltmeter must be providedfor measuring the rms test voltage. If a peak-reading voltmeteris used, divide the reading by =2 to get rms values. Th

46、eoverall error of the voltage-measuring circuit shall not exceed5 % of the measured value.
