Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens are aged in air at a minimum of threetemperatures above the expected use temperature of the mate-rial. Dielectric breakdown voltage tests in air at room tempera-ture
17、 are periodically made to determine the time of aging ateach test temperature required to reduce the breakdown voltageto a value of 12 kV/mm (300 V/mil) of original thickness.These thermal life values are used to construct a thermalendurance graph by means of which temperature indices maybe estimate
18、d corresponding to a thermal life as specified in thematerial specification or as agreed upon between the user andthe supplier.NOTE 1This test method is not applicable to materials having aninitial dielectric breakdown voltage of less than 12 kV/mm (300 V/mil) oforiginal thickness unless lower endpo
19、int values are agreed upon orindicated in the applicable material specifications.5. Significance and Use5.1 Amajor factor affecting the life of insulating materials isthermal degradation. Other factors, such as moisture andvibration, may cause failures after the material has beenweakened by thermal
20、degradation.5.2 Electrical insulation is effective in electrical equipmentonly as long as it retains its physical and electrical integrity.Thermal degradation may be characterized by weight change,porosity, crazing, and generally a reduction in flexibility, and isusually accompanied by an ultimate r

Test Specimens7.1 Test specimens shall be at least 250 mm (9.84 in.) longby 130 mm (5.
25、12 in.) wide, with the machine direction parallelto the longer direction.7.2 A set of test specimens consists of five specimens.Prepare one set for initial (unaged) tests and five sets for eachaging temperature chosen (15 sets for three temperatures).7.3 In the case of coated glass fabrics, make tes

Similardata are not available for other types of coated fabrics, and the user of thistest method is urged to investigate this relationship to determine similarlimitations, if any
28、.8. Test Specimen Selection8.1 Select test specimens from the sample in such mannerthat they are randomly distributed among the sets.NOTE 3This can be conveniently accomplished by the followingprocedure, as an example: In the case of full-width material in rolls orsheets, select an area sufficient t
29、o provide a panel about 1 m (3.28 ft) wideby 3 m (9.84 ft) long. Using a suitable marking device, construct a grid of7 lines spaced 130 mm (5.12 in.) across and 12 lines spaced 250 mm (9.84in.) down, with an edge margin of about 50 mm (1.97 in.) on each side.This will provide 84 boxes, each delineat
30、ing a test specimen. Number theboxes consecutively across and down the grid. Using a set of randomnumbers, obtain a selection of 16 sets of test specimens. In the case of slitmaterial in rolls, number specimens as removed from the roll and obtaina random selection of test sets as in 8.1.9. Selection
31、 of Test Temperatures9.1 Expose the material at not less than three temperatures.Any temperature that gives a thermal life of less than 100 h isconsidered too high to be used in this evaluation. Choose thelowest temperature such that (1) a thermal life of at least 5000h is obtained and (2) it shall
32、not be more than 25C higher thanthe estimated temperature index. Exposure temperatures shalldiffer by at least 20C.9.2 Select exposure temperatures in accordance with thoseshown in Table 1 as indicated by the anticipated temperatureindex of the material under test. It is recommended thatexploratory
33、tests be first made at the highest temperature toobtain data establishing the validity of the 100 h minimum liferequirement (see 9.1), and that this be used as a guide for theselection of the lower test temperatures.10. Procedure10.1 WARNINGLethal voltages are a potential hazardduring the performanc
34、e of this test. It is essential that the testapparatus, and all associated equipment electrically connectedto it, be properly designed and installed for safe operation.Solidly ground all electrically conductive parts which it ispossible for a person to contact during the test. Provide meansfor use a
35、t the completion of any test to ground any parts whichwere at high voltage during the test or have the potential foracquiring an induced charge during the test or retaining acharge even after disconnection of the voltage source. Thor-oughly instruct all operators as to the correct procedures forperf
36、orming tests safely. When making high voltage tests,particularly in compressed gas or in oil, it is possible for theenergy released at breakdown to be suffcient to result in fire,explosion, or rupture of the test chamber. Design test equip-ment, test chambers and test specimens so as to minimize the
37、possibility of such occurrences and to eliminate the possibilityof personal injury. If the potential for fire exists, have firesuppression equipment available.10.2 Thickness MeasurementMake 16 thickness measure-ments before aging, using one specimen from each set pre-pared. Determine the thickness i
38、n accordance with Methods Cor D of Test Methods D 374, holding the pressor foot on thespecimen for 2 s before taking a reading. Compute the averagethickness in millimetres or inches.10.3 Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (Unaged)Conditionone set of specimens for at least 48 h at 23 6 1C and 50 62 % relat
39、ive humidity. Determine the dielectric breakdownvoltage in air at room temperature by the short-time test of TestMethod D 149, using a rate of voltage rise of 500 V/s. Makeone measurement on each specimen and compute the averagedielectric breakdown voltage for the set.TABLE 1 Suggested Exposure Temp

Position the sets so that freemovement of air exists across both sides of the s
44、pecimens.NOTE 4For materials that tend to warp appreciably in heat, specimensmay be weighted (in cases where the oven is designed for vertical airmovement) or mounted on restraining frames. In either case, the methodof restraint shall allow for normal shrinkage during aging and not induceelongation
45、or stress in the specimens. In cases where the specimensbecome warped, the operator shall endeavor to select portions of thespecimens for dielectric breakdown voltage tests so that the electrodes donot prematurely damage the specimens by distortion.10.5 Testing of Specimens:10.5.1 Remove one set of
46、specimens after completion of thecycle shown in Table 1. Condition the set for4hat236 1Cand 50 6 2 % relative humidity.10.5.2 Immediately make one dielectric breakdown voltagemeasurement in air at room temperature on each specimen ofthe set and compute the average breakdown voltage. Return theset to
47、 the aging oven.10.5.3 Remove the same set at the end of the next agingperiod, condition as prescribed in 10.5.1 and again measure thebreakdown voltage on each specimen. Compute the averagebreakdown voltage for the set, this time discarding the set.10.5.4 Using this procedure, test the remaining set
48、s until allsets have been tested twice, giving a total of ten averagebreakdown voltage measurements.NOTE 5Normally, the life end point will be reached in ten or less testsif the cycle durations of Table 1 are observed. However, if it appears thatten tests are not sufficient, as indicated by the ther
49、mal life curve, arrangeto make any further tests in triplicate on each remaining set, therebyextending the aging time.NOTE 6Because of the inherent variability of this test, it is prudent tocontinue testing until the breakdown voltage averages approach 8 kV/mm(200 V/mil) of original thickness.10.5.5 Using this procedure, repeat testing the remainingsets of specimens at the lower test temperatures.11.
