EN 13100-4:2012 (E) 4 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the equipment and methods for the high voltage testing of butt or overlap welded joints in thermoplastic sheets for locating through-thickness defects only. It applies to new unused constructions only. 2 Terms and definitions For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 dielectric strength maximum voltage a material of unit thickness can withstand continuously without failure 3 Symbols and designations Symbols and designations are given in Table 1. Table 1  Symbols and designations

Dielectric strength
Vmm-1 VB Breakdown voltage V dt Distance from test electrode to conductor mm VI Initial test voltage V VA Actual voltage used for the test V Vo Voltage which causes a spark at a hole in the plastic sheet V
4 Principle of the test A high voltage is applied to one side of the joint to be tested using a suitable electrode, the other side of the material needs to be in contact with a conductive substrate which in some cases will need a connection back to the test equipment. The test shall be carried out with a voltage high enough to jump the gap between the test electrode and a conductor. A defect is indicated by a spark discharge and, depending on the equipment used, a simultaneous optical and / or acoustic signal.
The health and safety aspects (e.g. electric shocks, risks of explosions in flammable atmosphere) together with the environmental impacts (e.g. electromagnetic disturbances) shall be thoroughly considered before operating the equipment.
NOTE Moisture in concrete can make it sufficiently conductive to allow high voltage testing to be used. SIST EN 13100-4:2014
