ETA-364-20C - Withstanding Voltage Test Procedure for Electrical Connectors, Sockets and Coaxial Contacts
Scope
This standard applies to electrical connectors, sockets and coaxial contacts.
Object
The object of this test is to describe a method for measuring the withstanding voltage.
High voltage source
The nature of the potential (ac or dc) shall be as specified. When an alternating potential is specified, the test voltage provided by the high-voltage source shall be nominally 60 Hz in frequency and shall approximate, as closely as possible, a true sine wave in form. Other commercial power frequencies may be used for in plant quality conformance testing, when specified. All alternating potentials shall be expressed as root-mean-square values, unless otherwise specified. The kVa rating and impedance of the source shall be such as to permit operation at all testing loads without serious distortion of the waveform and without serious change in voltage for any setting. When the test specimen demands substantial test source power capacity, the regulation of the source shall be specified. When a minimum kVa rating is required, it shall be specified. When a direct potential is specified, the ripple content shall not exceed 5% rms of the test potential. When required, a suitable current-limiting device shall be used to limit current surges to the value specified.
