In physics, the term dielectric strength has the following meanings: The theoretical dielectric strength of a material is an intrinsic property of the bulk material and is dependent on the configuration of the material or the electrodes with which the field is applied. The `intrinsic dielectric strength` is measured using pure materials under id.....
the magnitude of an electric field necessary to cause significant current passage through a dielectric material.
the magnitude of an electric field necessary to cause significant current passage through a dielectric material.
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. (ASTM Designation D 877.)
The minimum electric field that produces breakdown of the insulating properties of the dielectric.
The maximum voltage an insulation system can withstand before breakdown, expressed in volts per mil of insulation thickness.
ability to retain precise shape and size.
The voltage that an insulating material can withstand before dielectric breakdown occurs.
Ability to retain precise shape and size.The voltage that an insulating material can withstand before dielectric breakdown occurs.
The magnitude of an electric field necessary to cause significant current passage through a dielectric material. See also: Dielectric.
the maximum voltage that can be applied to a given material without causing it to break down, usually expressed in volts or kilovolts per unit of thickness. Cf. breakdown voltage.
the voltage which an insulating material can withstand before breakdown occurs, usually expressed as a voltage gradient (such as volts per mil).
