ASTM D1816 Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using VDE Electrodes -- eLearning Course

About the Course

This course covers the determination of the dielectric breakdown voltage of insulating liquids (oils of petroleum origin, silicone fluids, high fire-point mineral electrical insulating oils, synthetic ester fluids and natural ester fluids). This test method is applicable to insulating liquids commonly used in cables, transformers, oil circuit breakers, and similar apparatus as an insulating and cooling medium.

The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Describe procedures specific to the upkeep of the electrodes, including steps to take when they are found to be out of compliance.
• Identify acceptable storage parameters for the sample, especially those pertaining to the avoidance of free water.
• Recall the sequence of steps to determine the required breakdown voltage values for this test method with an emphasis on timing.

Certificate and CEUs

CEUs: .1

Certificate: A certificate is available upon successful completion of the course and an 80% or higher score on the exam.
