1、 Range of high voltage and low current testing machine (arc resistance tester)
The test method described in this standard can provide preliminary differences in the tolerance of similar insulation materials to surface damage when exposed to high voltage, low current arc discharge.
Arc discharge causes local thermal and chemical decomposition and corrosion, ultimately forming conductive channels on insulating materials. The severity of the experimental conditions gradually increases: in the initial stages, the low current arc discharge is repeatedly interrupted, and in the later stages, the arc current increases step by step.

Any referenced document marked with a date shall not be subject to any subsequent amendments (excluding errata) or revisions to this standard. However, parties to agreements based on this standard are encouraged to study whether versions of these documents can be used. Any referenced document without a date shall be subject to the version specified in this standard.
3、 Definition
The following definitions apply to this standard.
three point one
Note 2: For certain materials, the trend towards failure increases over a considerable period of time before all arcs between the electrodes are extinguished, and failure only occurs when all arcs have been extinguished.
three point two
Arc resistance
The total time from the start of the experiment until the failure of the specimen, in seconds.
4、 Equipment
4.1 Test Circuit
The main components of the electrical circuit of the experimental equipment are shown in Figure 1.
Note: The stray capacitance of the secondary circuit wiring should be less than 40pF. Large stray capacitance may interfere with the shape of the arc and affect the test results.
4.1.1 Transformer, TV
The rated secondary voltage (open circuit) of the transformer is 15kV, the rated secondary current (short circuit) is 60mA, and the line frequency is 48Hz~62Hz.
4.1.2 Variable ratio autotransformer, TC
The rated capacity is 1kVA and matches the line voltage.
Note: It is recommended to maintain a variation of ? 2% in the primary voltage power supply.
4.1.3 Voltage meter, VL
The AC voltmeter has an accuracy of ? 0.5% and can read% of the power supply voltage.
4.1.6 Suppressing resistors, R3
The rated resistance is 15k Ω? 1.5k Ω and at least 24W. This resistor, together with the inductor (see 4.1.7), is used to suppress parasitic high frequencies in arc circuits.
4.1.7 Hollow core inductors, X3，1.2H～1.5H
Note: This type of inductor composed of a single coil is not practical. A satisfactory inductor is composed of eight 3000 to 5000 turns coils wound in series around an insulated non-metallic core with a diameter of approximately 12.7mm and an inner length of 15.9mm.
4.1.8 Circuit breaker, B
Interruptors driven by motors or operated by electronic instruments are used to cut off and connect the primary circuit according to the predetermined program in Table 1, in order to obtain the cycles required for the three lower stages of the experiment. The accuracy of the chopper is ? 0.008s.
4.1.9 Timer, TT
Stopwatch or electric timer, accurate to ? 1s.
4.1.10 Contactor, CS
When the ventilation protective cover on the electrode device is lowered to the set position, the ventilation protective cover triggers a normally open (NO) micro switch, which in turn activates the contactor CS and connects the transformer TV to the circuit, causing high voltage HV to be applied to the electrode. When the ventilation protective cover is raised, the transformer is disconnected and the operator is protected.
4.2 Electrodes and electrode devices
4.2.1 Electrode
The electrode is made of tungsten rod with a diameter of 2.4mm ? 0.05mm and no cracks, dents or rough defects. The length of the active electrode should be at least 20mm. It is recommended to fix this activity electrode on the handle so that the sharpened electrode can be accurately positioned. The electrode should be ground and polished to form a flat elliptical surface with an angle of 30 ?? 1 ? with the axis. Figure 2 shows an example of an electrode fixed on a suitable handle.
Note 1: It has been found that tungsten welding rods are suitable for this type of electrode.
Note 2: During the sharpening process, using a steel clamping device to hold the electrode helps ensure that the pointed electrode is machined into the required geometric shape.
4.2.2 Electrode device
This device provides a method of clamping electrodes and samples, allowing the arc to be applied to the upper surface of the sample at the correct angle. The device should be constructed in such a way that the upper surface of each specimen is at the same height during each test. Each electrode should be adjusted so that it rests unconstrained on the specimen with a force of 0.5N ? 0.05N. The sample should not be ventilated, and only when smoke or gas is released from the sample during the testing process, are these combustion products allowed to be discharged.
A clear field of view for observing the arc should be provided from a plane slightly above the specimen.
Note: The requirements for airflow are currently under consideration.
4.2.3 Cleaning and sharpening electrodes
4.2.3.1 Cleaning electrodes
a) After each experiment, the electrode should be cleaned with a lint free laboratory tissue dipped in solvents such as acetone or ethanol, then rinsed with deionized water, and finally wiped dry with a clean, dry lint free tissue.
4.3 Test Chamber
To prevent ventilation, the test chamber should be a sealed box without ventilation, with dimensions not less than 300mm ? 150mm ? 100mm.
4.4 Calibration
4.4.1 Open circuit operating voltage
Under open circuit conditions, adjust the voltage to 12.5kV. Measure the voltage using a voltmeter VL based on the ratio of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage of the open circuit.
5、 Sample
When making formal comparisons of materials, at least 5 tests should be conducted on each sample of the material.
6、 Conditional processing
Unless otherwise specified, the specimen shall be exposed to a standard atmosphere of 23 ℃? 2 ℃ and 50% ? 5% relative humidity (according to standard atmosphere B in IEC 60212) for at least 24 hours.
7、 Program
Observe the starting arc to determine if it remains flat and closely adheres to the surface of the specimen. If the top of the arc is about 2mm above the surface of the sample or if the arc crawls towards the electrode and no longer remains at the electrode or experiences irregular flickering, it indicates that the circuit constant is incorrect or the material is releasing gas products at a high rate.
8、 Result
The results of this experiment are expressed in seconds as the failure time.
Note: Many materials often lose their resistance in the first few seconds after a change in severity. When comparing the arc resistance of materials, the difference between the two is much more important in the few seconds that alternate between two stages than in the same few seconds that pass through a single stage. Therefore, there is a significant difference in arc resistance between 178s and 182s and between 174s and 178s.
8.2 Four commonly observed failure types
8.2.1 Due to many inorganic media becoming white hot, they become conductive. However, when cooled, they return to their original insulating state.
8.2.2 Some organic complexes suddenly ignite, but no obvious conductive channels are formed within the material.
8.2.3 In addition, some materials may experience failure due to trace caused by leakage, that is, when the arc disappears, a thin metal wire like line is formed between the electrodes.
The fourth type is surface carbonization until sufficient carbon is present to form conductivity.
