But you can't just consider the tub size â they're all designed to be dropped into a deck, and that will take up more space, with the bare minimum adding at least a half-inch to your measurements on all sides.
Report Abuse. Scope: Dielectric Strength is a measure of the electrical strength of a material as an insulator. Dielectric strength is defined as the maximum voltage required to produce a dielectric breakdown through the material and is expressed as Volts per unit thickness.
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH OF INSULATING MATERIALS. L. I. Berger. The loss of the dielectric properties by a sample of a gaseous, liquid, or solid insulator as a result of application to the sa mple of an electric field*. greater than a certain critical magnitude is called dielectric breakdown. The critical magnitude of electric field at which the breakdown of a material. takes place is called the dielectric strength of the material (or breakdown voltage). The dielectric strength of a material depends on the specimen. thickness (as a rule, thin films have greater dielectric strength than that of thicker samples of a material), the electrode sh ape**, the rate of the applied.
