- this is a measure of the highest potential difference an
insulating material can withstand without electrical breakdown, being
defined by the equation
Dielectric strength =
breakdown voltage
insulator thickness
A high value of dielectric strength is a vital requirement for an electrical
insulator. The values given above, however, must only be taken as
indicative of the types of values that can occur, since the dielectri ...
