Abstract
An arrangement is described which permits unusually accurate measurement of high voltage current characteristics and breakdown potentials of liquid dielectrics with direct current. Currents from 10−16 ampere to 10−3 ampere may be measured up to 40 kv. Protective devices are incorporated which prevent damage to the sample measured and to the instruments when breakdown occurs.Keywords
