Title: does plexiglass have good electrical resistance? Post by: Nurs-4 on May 9, 2013 I want to use Plexiglas (brand name Optix) in an electrical project. Can anyone tell me about its electrical properties? I'm having a hard time finding information about that. I know electricity can arc through it if it's in the Kv, but would there be any problem with arcing through it below 500v?
Title: does plexiglass have good electrical resistance? Post by: Fezenius on May 9, 2013 i would expect the dielectric strength of a 6mm thick sheet of plexiglas to be sufficient to withstand the 500V you wish to use. You could download the data sheet from the manufactures website.
Title: does plexiglass have good electrical resistance? Post by: leelu on May 9, 2013 Die electric strength is 450 to 550 volts / mil
So there is no problem with 3 to 4 mm thick flexiglass sheet. |
