SCR Elektroniks, Precision High-Voltage Inclined Plane Tracking and Erosion Tester as per ASTM D2303, IEC 60587 & EN-50397-1 is designed to cover test method for the evaluation of the relative tracking and erosion resistance of insulating solid using liquid contaminant as per ASTM D2303-97, IEC 60587 & EN-50397-1

As per standard ASTM D2303 insulating material should withstand against tracking & Erosion on the field. Which is why they are evaluated in a laboratory by means of liquid contamination in a particular arrangement. The equipment displayed herewith are used for the same purpose. A high voltage is applied between two electrodes and a liquid contaminant is used in between so as to check & measure tracking. We offer this system in various configurations based on your application – R&D or Compliance Test & Assessment.

The routines/measurements that can be conducted under High-voltage Inclined Plane Tracking and Erosion Tester are:

  • Initial Tracking Voltage
  • Time to track
  • Erosion

In Initial Tracking Voltage test, as per clause 9.0 of ASTM D2303, test voltage is applied to the electrodes and is gradually increased in steps till the insulation fails. A qualified operator observes & records the character of the track and the appearance of the test specimen. For detailed explanation, please refer ASTM D2303, IEC 60587 and EN-50397-1.

In Time to Track test, a constant specified test voltage is applied and the tracking time is recorded.

In erosion test, a test voltage lower than the voltage required to break the insulation is applied for an extended period of time.

The object here is to measure the erosion as a function of time of voltage application. Please contact us for a free consultation regarding test methods in ASTM D2303, IEC 60587 and EN-50397-1
