This standard outlines procedures for determining the electric strength of solid insulating materials and fillings used for industrial purposes when subjected to power frequencies. It describes test conditions such as the effects of frequency, thickness, contamination and electrode characteristics on electric strength. Specimens and electrodes must meet requirements for smoothness, size and lead construction. The document provides guidelines for conditioning specimens and conducting tests in air or liquid environments.

Electrical and thermal characteristics of
the ambient medium
8. Test specimens and
electrodes
Surface in contact with
electrodes are parallel,
Test smooth, flat
specimen The area should be able to
prevent flashover
Free from pitting
Leads should not affect the
Electrodes electric field configuration
Should not affect the
