Abstract
High-voltage dielectric withstand performance testing with equipment utilizes the phenomena in electrical insulation under the influence of electric fields changing with the power frequency. When electrical insulation is stressed in an electric field, ionization may cause electrical discharges initiating from one electrode of high potential to the one of low potential or vice versa. It may also cause a high current rise and lose the dielectric withstand capability to separate different potentials of the equipment.
