  • Understanding Insulation Resistance Testing
    A regular program of testing insulation resistance is strongly recommended to prevent electrical shocks, assure safety of personnel and to reduce or eliminate down time. It helps to detect deterioration of insulation in order to schedule repair work such as: vacuum cleaning, steam cleaning, drying
  • Understanding Insulation Measurements on Telephone Cables
    Insulation resistance measurement is a non-destructive measurement method when carried out under normal test conditions. It is accomplished by applying a DC voltage lower than that used for a dielectric test,...[t]his resistance value expresses the quality of insulation between two conductive
  • Highly Conductive Insulation for Large, High-Speed Machines
    Silicone-impregnated fiberglass insulation has long been used as stator-coil electrical-insulation for low-voltage, direct current, traction motors. Silicone-based insulation is particularly suited for this application because its thermo-oxidative stability ensures excellent long-term resistance
  • Circuit Board Cleanliness Testing
    Contamination of circuit boards can bring about severe degradation of insulation resistance and dielectric strength. This application bulletin explains how a simple "on line" test for the relative measurement of ionic contamination using a conductivity meter has been developed to determine
  • Interphex Stands Test of Time (and Economy)
    is presenting its T-Tubes clean environment insulation: the only insulation in the world that is tested and approved by Factory Mutual to its Cleanroom Standards. T-Tubes are only ¼-inch thick, require no jacketing, are suitable for high- and low-temperature applications, have excellent toxicity
  • What Tests do Ceramic Heating Elements Have to do Before they Leave the Factory?
    1) Power-on test 2) Insulation resistance detection 3) Leakage Current Test
  • MIDEL 7131 Brings Wet Transformer Back to Life
    DML had a 30 year old free breathing mineral oil distribution transformer located indoors within the dockyard. It had become extremely wet, with core insulation readings by Megger test of <20MO. Oil testing showed that the transformer had very wet insulation; the mineral oil water content was 51ppm
  • Arc Tracking and Silicone Self-Fusing Tape
    Many electrical insulation applications are designed with dielectric breakdown strength (DBS), or the voltage potential required to break through an electrically insulating material, as a major factor. While this is a good test to determine how resistive a material is through its volume it does
  • Optical Transmission Properties of Adhesives
    is noteworthy for its low index of refraction and its ability to transmit light very well from 225-2500 nanometers. It is a silicone compound that combines remarkable flexibility, high temperature resistance, superb electrical insulation and outstanding optical clarity. These properties enable it to be used
  • Tin Vs. Bare
    it is much more likely the connector's connection will corrode with bare copper. Consequently, the bare copper assembly will eventually fail the contact resistance test after aging. Many people ignore this test, but it is just as much a part of the TIA and IEC standards as any of the other parameters
  • Dielectric Materials for Use in Radomes
    values (1 - 2) are often desirable for applications of materials intended for use as insulators. [3]. The standard test method for measuring the dielectric constant of polyurethane foam is ASTM D2520, which tests characteristics at microwave frequencies. It involves placing a sample of the material
