Breakdown Voltage Testing of 0.5 mm thickness Self-Fusing Silicone Tape

Product Description:

Self-fusing silicone tape is an advanced insulation material designed for high-performance applications. This tape features a silicone rubber-based adhesive that adheres to itself without the need for additional adhesives. It provides excellent electrical insulation, resistance to extreme temperatures, and durability under harsh environmental conditions. Ideal for use in electrical and mechanical applications, the tape ensures reliable performance in both high-voltage and high-temperature scenarios.

Testing Overview:

To assess the electrical insulation performance of the self-fusing silicone tape, breakdown voltage testing was conducted following the ASTM D149-20 standard. This test determines the voltage at which the tape's insulation fails and thus evaluates its effectiveness as an insulating material.

Environmental Conditions:

• Temperature: 23 ± 2°C
• Humidity: 50 ± 5% RH

Test Details:

• Medium: Oil bath
• AC Voltage: Applied
• Test Mode: Short-time (rapid-rise) test
• Rate of Voltage Rise: 1000 V/s

Results Summary:

The breakdown voltage of the self-fusing silicone tape was measured across five separate tests, with the following results:

Conclusion:

The self-fusing silicone tape demonstrated consistent and reliable breakdown voltage performance, with an average breakdown voltage of 15.7 kV. These results affirm the tape's superior electrical insulation properties, making it a dependable choice for demanding electrical applications.
