In the first step, the test materials and the methods were described, followed by the problems, which occur with the specimen according to the standard. In a final step, a solution (specimen) for the problem is developed and evaluated with an exemplary investigation.enopen accessBreakdown voltageDielectric field strengthIEC 60243PlasticSpecimen designjournal article
