Breakdown and endurance

Breakdown and Endurance

Brekdown and endurance are intrisic properties of an insulating material.

Dielectric breakdown is reached when a material, subjected to a high enough voltage, loses its insulating properties permitting the flow of electric current through it. Endurance is the ability of a material to withstand a given electric field for long times.

Facilities:

  • DC generators: Up to 200kV
  • AC generators: Up to 100 kV (50Hz) and 30 kVpp (10kHz)
  • Impulse testing up to 600 kV
