This is an electrical property and gives an indication of how well the material acts as an electrical insulator. It describes how much of an electrical voltage can be built up on one side of the material before it is communicated to the other side. Units - Volts per mil of thickness (volts/mil). Higher numbers indicate materials which are better insulators. C means that the material conducts electricity and therefore has no dielectric strength.
The degree to which paper resists penetration of an electric charge.
The voltage insulation integrity of any part of a timer's circuitry versus the timer's metal enclosure and the relay output contact terminals. UL-CSA units have a higher dielectric strength because of the more stringent insulation requirements.
The voltage that will rupture or puncture the material when placed between electrodes of a given size.
The ability of an insulator to withstand a potential difference without breaking down (usually expressed in terms of voltage).
Quality of nonconducting material to withstand a maximum voltage .
The voltage which a given thickness of insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs.
The maximum voltage a dielectric can withstand without rupture. Usually expressed as volts per mil.
The amount of electricity needed to start an electric current flow in a dielectric material.
The voltage required to penetrate insulating material. Material with high dielectric strength offers excellent electrical insulating properties.
The voltage at which the insulating qualities of a material break down. In EDM, a specification applied to dielectric fluid.
the measure of a product's ability to resist passage of a disruptive discharge produced by an electric stress.
The electric voltage gradient at which an insulating material is broken down or "arced through," in volts per mil of thickness.
The peak voltage a material can withstand before failure. Usually expressed as volts per mil.
The voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs, expressed in volts per Mil ((ASTM 149-61).
The voltage which insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs' the ability of an environment to counteract an established potential over a specific distance.
Dielectric strength is the ability of insulation to withstand voltage without breaking down.
the magnitude of an electric field necessary to cause significant current passage through a dielectric material.
The maximum potential gradient that an insulting (dielectric) material can withstand before it breaks down (volts per mil).
The voltage which a tape will withstand without allowing passage passage of the current through it.
The voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs, usually expressed as a voltage gradient (such as volts per mil).
The force required to drive an electric current through a specific thickness of a material.
The minimum electric field that produces breakdown of the insulating properties of the dielectric.
The maximum electric field that a dielectric can sustain.
The maximum voltage a material can withstand without failure. Measured in volts per millimeter of thickness (of the material).
The voltage an insulation can withstand before it breaks down. Usually expressed as "volts per mil".
The potential gradient at which electric failure or breakdown occurs. Also known as breakdown potential.
A device's ability to withstand a deliberate application of pre–determined over–voltage for a specified time.
the maximum electric field that a material can withstand before breaking down or losing its ability to insulate
The ability of a dielectric material of specified thickness to withstand high voltages without breaking down.
a measure of the ability of an insulating material to withstand electric stress (voltage) without failure. Fluids with high dielectric strength (usually expressed in volts or kilovolts) are good electrical insulators.
The maximum voltage that a dielectric can withstand, under specified conditions, without resulting in a voltage breakdown (usually expressed as volts/unit dimension).
A measure of the voltage that an insulating material can withstand before an electrical breakdown occurs. It is sometimes referred to as breakdown potential.
A measure of the ability of a dielectric material to withstand voltage.
The maximum voltage that a dielectric material can withstand, under specified conditions, without rupturing. It is usually expressed as volts/unit thickness. Also called disruptive gradient or electric strength.
(Sometimes called breakdown potential.) A measure of the resistance of a dielectric to electrical breakdown under the influence of strong electric fields; usually expressed in volts per meter. The dielectric strength of dry air at sea level pressures is about 3 000 000 V m−1. The exact value for air depends upon geometry of the electrodes between which the electric field is established, upon the humidity, and upon whether or not water drops are present in the air.
The maximum electrical voltage which an insulating material can withstand without breakdown (conducting electricity). Expressed in volts/mil.
