This Standard describes a test method which can provide preliminary differentiation between similar insulating materials (hereafter referred to as "materials"), with respect to their resistance to damage when exposed to high-voltage, low-current arc discharges, occurring close to their surface.<\/p>\n
\nThe discharges cause localized thermal and chemical decomposition and erosion and eventually a conductive path forms across the insulating material.<\/p>\n
\nThe severity of the test conditions is gradually increased: in the early stages a low-current arc discharge is repeatedly interrupted, whereas in the later stages, the arc current is raised in successive steps.<\/p>\n
\nBecause of its convenience and because of the short time required for testing, the test method is applicable for preliminary screening of materials, for detecting of effects of changes in formulation and for quality control testing.<\/p>\n
\nPrevious experience with this test showed acceptable reproducibility with thermoset materials.<\/p>\n
\nUsing thermoplastics, some testing laboratories report unacceptably large variation in test results which lead to the recommendation not to use the test for thermoplastics.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE 1 Attempts are being made to reduce the variability of the results of tests on thermoplastics by controlling the electrode pressure and depth of penetration into the material during the test.<\/p>\n
\nWithout such electrode control, tests on many thermoplastics may not be sufficiently meaningful to be performed.<\/p>\n
\nThis test method will not, in general, permit conclusions to be drawn concerning the relative arc resistance rankings of materials which may be subjected to other types of arcs.<\/p>\n
\nThe ranking of material may differ from that found in wet tracking tests (for example, JIS C 2134, JIS C 2136 and JIS C 2137) and from their performance in service, where the intensity, recurrence frequency and time of exposure to arc discharges are very different.<\/p>\n
