Designing high-performance thermoplastic parts that reliably handle high voltage is not straightforward. Part thickness, environmental conditions, and AC vs. DC stress affect dielectric breakdown strength. 

Join our expert Robert Janssen in this TechTalk as he shares actionable insights for polyamide, polyester, and PPS parts, including:
 

⁃ Intrinsic (material-controlled) versus extrinsic (environment-controlled) dielectric breakdown of parts, showing:

        ⁃ How the damage pattern depends on the type of breakdown  

        ⁃ Why the dielectric breakdown strength [in kV/mm] decreases with molded part thickness

        ⁃ Why the breakdown strength is higher in DC than in AC

⁃ Data and observations on electro-ageing.
