Summary of Test Method4.1 Specimens are prepared using glass cloth coated withthe selected varnish to a specified build.4.2 Specimens are exposed in air at a minimum of threetemperatures above the expected use tempe
18、rature of the mate-rial. Dielectric breakdown voltage tests in air at room tempera-ture are periodically made to determine the exposure time ateach test temperature required to reduce the breakdown voltageto a value of 12 kV/mm (300 V/mil) of original thickness.These values are used to construct a t

20、rial speci-fications.5. Significance and Use5.1 A major factor affecting the long term performance ofinsulating materials is thermal degradation. Other factors, suchas moisture and vibration, may cause failures after the materialhas been weakened by thermal degradation.5.2 An electrical insulating v
21、arnish is effective in protectingelectrical equipment only as long as it retains its physical andelectrical integrity.5.3 The thermal degradation of the varnish results in weightloss, porosity, crazing, and generally a reduction in flexibility.Degradation of the varnish can be detected by a decrease
22、 indielectric strength, which is therefore used as the failurecriterion for this test method.5.4 Electrical insulating varnishes undergo flexing in ser-vice due to vibration and thermal expansion. For this reason,this functional test includes flexing and elongation of theinsulation. The electrodes u
23、sed in this test method are designedto elongate the outer surface of the specimen 2 % with respectto the neutral axis of the base fiber while being tested fordielectric breakdown.6.

Safety Precautions7.1 It is unsa
29、fe to use varnish at temperatures above theflash point without adequate ventilation, especially if thepossibility exists that flames or sparks are present. Storevarnish in sealed containers.8. Test Specimens8.1 Prepare glass cloth panels 150 by 300 mm (6 by 12 in.)with the 300 mm (12 in.) dimension
30、parallel to the warpthreads. Use fabric style No. 116 in accordance with Specifi-cation D2518. Heat clean the specimens as specified inMethods D1346 to arrive at a volatile content not to exceed0.1 % in accordance with Specification D580.8.2 Prepare the test specimen by dipping a glass cloth panelde
31、scribed in 8.1 in the varnish at the standard laboratoryatmosphere described in Practice D6054. Prior to dippingpanels, adjust the viscosity of the varnish to be tested by trialso that two coats will give an over-all thickness of 0.178 60.0127 mm (0.007 6 0.0005 in.).8.3 Immerse the panel in the var

Reverse the specimen, dip a secon
33、d time, and drain asabove. Bake the specimen at such a temperature and for sucha time as specified by the varnish manufacturer.8.5 Prepare a set of twelve or more specimens for eachexposure temperature.9. Screening Test9.1 Prepare one test specimen. Condition the specimen 48 hin the standard laborat
34、ory atmosphere. Cut five 25 by 300 mm(1 by 12 in.) test strips from the center of the specimen,discarding the 12.5 by 300 mm (12 by 12 in.) portion from eachside. Bend each of the five test strips once, 115 mm (412 in.)from one end, 180 around a mandrel 3.175 mm (0.125 in.) indiameter.9.2 Measure th
35、e dielectric breakdown voltage on the bentarea of each five test strips. In like manner, make fivebreakdown tests on the unbent area at a distance of 75 mm (3in.) from the bend. Use the apparatus described in 6.2 inaccordance with the procedure described in 11.2, except use6.4 mm (14 in.) diameter e
36、lectrodes as specified in Test MethodD149.9.3 Average the dielectric breakdown voltage for the fivebent and unbent areas respectively. The ratio of averagebreakdown voltage of the bent area to the unbent area shall begreater than 0.5, if this method is to be considered applicable.10. Selection of Te
37、st Temperatures10.1 Expose the material to at least three temperatures.Choose the lowest temperature such that it is not more than25C higher than the estimated temperature index. Exposuretemperatures should differ by at least 10C and preferably20C.10.2 Select exposure temperatures in accordance with
38、 thoseshown in Table 1 as indicated by the anticipated temperatureindex of the material under test. It is recommended thatexploratory tests be first made at the highest temperature toobtain data establishing the validity of the 100 h minimumendpoint time requirement and that this be used as a guide
39、forthe selection of the lower test temperatures.11. Procedure11.1 Thickness MeasurementMeasure the average thick-ness of one representative specimen from each set at five pointsalong its center before heat exposure. Determine the thicknessalong the center of the specimen parallel to its 300 mm (12 i
40、n.)length using the apparatus described in 6.4 and Test MethodsD374.Allow the presser foot to remain on the test specimen for2 s before taking a reading.11.2 Dielectric Breakdown Voltage (Initial)Condition onespecimen from each set of specimens for at least 48 h in thestandard laboratory atmosphere
41、for dielectric breakdown volt-age by the short-time method, using a rate of rise of 500 V/s.Make six dielectric breakdown measurements, 45 mm (134 in.)apart and starting 40 mm (112 in.) from one end of thespecimen. Insert the specimen in the curved electrode fixture(Fig. 2) so that the warp threads
42、are bent. Lower the electrodeslowly on the specimen.11.3 Exposure and Testing of the SpecimensTag fivespecimens with aluminum foil or otherwise permanently iden-tify them, and place in the test fixture described in 6.5. PlaceFIG. 2 Curved Electrode and HolderD1932 04 (2009)3the fixture containing th
43、e specimens in the oven which haspreviously been brought up to the highest selected temperatureand positioned so that it is at least 100 mm (4 in.) from thewalls at any point. Remove one specimen at each of three timeintervals equivalent approximately to 25, 50, and 100 % of theestimated insulation
44、endpoint time at the selected temperature.Immediately after removal, condition the specimen for4hinthe standard laboratory atmosphere and test for dielectricbreakdown voltage in the standard laboratory atmosphere asspecified in 11.2.11.3.1 At the time of 50 % of estimated endpoint time, tagfive addi
45、tional specimens and place them in the test fixture inthe oven. Similarly, at the time of 75 % of estimated endpointtime, place the remaining specimens in the oven.11.3.2 Plot the average dielectric breakdown voltage of eachspecimen as the ordinate corresponding to exposure time as theabscissa. If e
46、ndpoint time has been underestimated, removeone specimen of the first group remaining in the oven at 150 %of the estimated insulation endpoint time and test it aspreviously described.11.3.3 With information now available on the exposedspecimens, remove each of the remaining specimens at inter-vals s
47、o as to establish a curve of average dielectric breakdownvoltage versus exposure time. Fill in between available pointsor extend beyond if necessary. Continue the oven exposureuntil an average dielectric strength of 8 kV/mm (200 V/mil)(based on original average thickness) is reached or ovenexposure
48、has progressed to 10 000 h. Using this information,repeat the same procedure, using at least two other selectedexposure temperatures.12. Calculation12.1 Establish for each temperature the thermal endpointcurve best fitting the plot of average dielectric breakdownvoltage in kilovolts versus the expos
49、ure time in hours. Deter-mine from this curve the number of hours corresponding to anend point of 12 kV/mm (300 V/mil) of original thickness. Thisis the thermal endpoint time at that temperature. End pointsother than 12 kV/mm (300 V/mil) may be used as specified.12.2 Where the experimental points are scattered, makingaccurate fitting difficult, use the mathematical fitting method ofleast squares. Caution is suggested, however, since somematerials exhibit maxima in the breakdown voltage curve dueto further curing during heat exposure and erroneous re
