Significance and Use12.1 The dielectric breakdown voltage of the sleeving is ofimportance as a measure of its ability to withstand electricalstress
36、 without failure. This value does not correspond to thedielectric breakdown voltage expected in service, but may beof considerable value in comparing different materials ordifferent lots, in controlling manufacturing processes or, whencoupled with experience, for a limited degree of design work.The
37、comparison of dielectric breakdown voltage of the samesleeving before and after environmental conditioning (mois-ture, heat, and the like) gives a measure of its ability to resistthese effects.
