ASTM D877/D877M Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using Disk Electrodes -- eLearning Course
About the Course
This course is based on ASTM D877/D877M Standard Test Method for Standard Test Method for Dielectric Breakdown Voltage of Insulating Liquids Using Disk Electrodes. This test method describes two procedures, A and B, for determining the electrical breakdown voltage of insulating liquid specimens.
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:
- Identify key characteristics and controls needed to perform accurate dielectric breakdown voltage tests in line with IEEE Standard 4.
- Explain the requirements for inspecting, cleaning, adjusting, and maintaining electrodes and the test cup for accurate testing.
- Explain how to properly collect and inspect liquid samples before dielectric breakdown testing.
- Recall the importance of temperature equilibration and proper temperature conditions.
- Describe how to apply test voltage to the specimen and record breakdown voltage results.
- Identify the steps for preparing samples, conducting dielectric breakdown tests using Procedures A and B, and evaluating test consistency with statistical criteria.
- Identify the requirements for reporting dielectric breakdown test results.
