Apparatus5.1 Electrical Test Criteria:5.1.1 Test ProcedureThe footwear shall be immersed in water or other conducting media to a depth where the flashoverclearance is consistent with the proof test voltage as listed in Table 1. Since the water or other conducting media inside the footwear

Water is recommended as the mediumfor the electrodes to ensure complete coverage of the surfaces of the footwear.Water may wick up the inner lining on certain brandsof footwear. To overcome the wicking effect care needs to be taken to keep the inner area above

11、 the water dry and conduct thetests promptly after placing the water inside the footwear. The water or other conducting media inside the footwear forms one testelectrode and shall be connected to one terminal of the voltage source by means of a metal chain or sliding rod that dips into the1 This tes

16、de. The water or other conducting media in the container outside the footwear forms the other electrode and shall beconnected directly to the other terminal of the voltage source. Due to the weight of water or other types of electrode media, supportracks are needed to secure footwear being tested. T

17、he maximum protective area of the footwear shall be tested. Care must be takento thoroughly dry the inside of the footwear following the test and prior to storage. See Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 for typical testarrangements for dielectric test of rubbers and boots using water electrodes.NOTE 1Water used as e

18、lectrodes should have a minimum conductance of 0.25 mho.5.2 PrecautionsIt is recommended that the test apparatus be designed to afford the operator full protection in performance ofhis duties. Reliable means of de-energizing and grounding the high-voltage circuit shall be provided. It is particularl

19、y importantto incorporate a positive means of grounding the high-voltage section of the dc test apparatus due to the likely presence ofhigh-voltage capacitance charges at the conclusion of the test.5.3 Electrical Test Equipment:5.3.1 The test equipment used in the dielectric strength or proof tests

20、shall be capable of supplying an essentially stepless andcontinuously variable voltage to the test specimen. The equipment shall be inspected at least annually to ensure that the generalcondition of the equipment is acceptable and to verify the characteristics and accuracy of the test voltage.5.3.2

21、Breakdown or failure indicators or accessory circuits shall be designed to give positive indication of failure and shallrequire resetting by the operator before tests can be continued.5.4 AC Tests:5.4.1 Voltage Supply and Regulation:5.4.1.1 The test voltage crest factor shall not differ more than 2

22、% from a sinusoidal wave.5.4.1.2 The accuracy of the voltage measuring circuit shall be within 61 kV of test voltage. The ac voltage applied to the testspecimen shall be measured with either a RMS responding voltmeter or an AC voltmeter (RMS or average responding) or a peakresponding voltmeter calib

23、rated to pk/SQRT2 using one of the following methods: (1) a voltmeter used in conjunction with acalibrated instrument transformer connected directly across the high-voltage circuit, (2) a calibrated electrostatic voltmeterconnected directly across the high-voltage circuit, or (3) an ac meter connect
