Abstract :
The main goal of the paper is to summarise experiments using the tracking and erosion test according to the IEC 60587 standard. Various polymeric materials, e.g., high temperature vulcanised silicone rubber, liquid silicone rubber, epoxy resin and fibre reinforced materials were tested and differences in performance noted. A leakage current monitoring system has also been developed and the results of leakage current analysis are presented. Possible improvements of the present standard are also discussed.
