The duration of test should not relate with derating of test voltage. The purpose of dielectric test is to check for any insulation breakdown. Like for production line test, it is allow to reduce the test duration to 1s, but it test at the same voltage as in 1 minute test
Cheng-Wee Lai From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Miguel Abrahams Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 9:01 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Electric strength test I am looking for any technical information relating the voltage level and the applied time of the test signal in an electric strenght test. I want to find out how a dielectric test carried out at 2500Vac applied for 5 minutes compares to one carried out at 3000Vac applied for 1 minute. Thanks, Miguel Abrahams CAE Inc.
