What is dielectric strength? This is a question that many people don’t know the answer to. It is a measure of how much voltage can be applied to a material before it breaks down and allows an electrical current to flow through it. This strength is measured in volts per mil (V/mil).
What should I know about this?
Dielectric materials are used in a variety of applications, including capacitors, transformers, and inductors. The strength of these materials must be high enough to prevent electrical current from flowing through them. If the dielectric strength is too low, the material will break down and allow an electrical current to flow through it. This can cause damage to the device or system that contains the material.
There are a number of factors that affect dielectric strength. These include temperature, humidity, and age. Dielectric strength also varies depending on the type of dielectric material.
