In type test, the dielectric strength test normally takes 60 seconds. In production, the test duration varies from 1-5 seconds. In the past, to reduce test duration, some approval bodies suggest to raise the test voltage by 10-20%. Nowadays, the suggestion has been withdrawn and just reduce the test duration only. Is there any latest study to suggest the risk of test duration between 1 and 60 seconds is negligible? Appreciating any input on this matter.
