Wicklungsverschaltungen

Wicklungsversuch, also known as the winding test, is a method used in electrical engineering to determine the quality and insulation resistance of electrical cables and wires. The test involves winding the cable or wire around a cylindrical mandrel, typically made of wood or plastic, to create a coil. The coil is then subjected to a high voltage, usually in the range of 1000 to 2000 volts, for a specified period of time. The purpose of the test is to detect any insulation defects, such as cracks, voids, or contamination, that could lead to electrical breakdown and failure.

The winding test is commonly used in the manufacturing process of electrical cables and wires to ensure that they meet the required standards and specifications. It is also used in the maintenance and repair of electrical systems to identify and repair any insulation defects that may have occurred over time. The test is non-destructive and can be performed on both new and used cables and wires.

The results of the winding test are typically expressed in terms of the voltage at which the insulation breaks down, known as the breakdown voltage. A higher breakdown voltage indicates better insulation quality and resistance to electrical breakdown. The winding test is an important tool in the electrical industry for ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
