Dielectric footwear meets ASTM F1117-03 (2008). This footwear is tested to 20,000v while wet. Electrical Hazard (EH) footwear meets ASTM F2413-05 or CAN/CSA-Z195-M92 Section 4.3 and is tested on the soles ONLY. EH is usually used for Low Voltages and in dry conditions. Dielectric can be used for higher voltages and in wet conditions. Usually near possible downed powerlines. These are always "secondary protection since they are not retested like D120 rubber insulating gloves. Dielectric tests in F1117 are performed on EACH shoe. F2413 is performed on a representative number and is a dry test. CAN/CSA-Z195-M92 Section 4.3 is a wet test.

Explain how the dielectric material or medium of electrical charges affect the value of potential energy?

the dielectric placed between the positive and negative plates of a capacitor prevents the collapse of plates due to so strong attractive forces between them and retains the potential difference between the plates.....


Difference between insulation resistance and dielectric strength?

INSULATION RESISTANCE: The insulation resistance is a measure of the capability of a material to withstand leakage of current under a Vdc potential gradient. DIELECTRIC STRENGTH: The dielectric strength is a measure of the ability of the material to withstand a large field strength without electrical breakdown, and is usually expressed in volts per mil (.001') or volts per cm of dielectric.


How big of a difference is there between extra wide and normal footwear?

Extra wide footwear are made for people with wide feet. Normal footwear are made for people with normal feet. In wide footwear the width will be greater than in normal footwear.


What is the difference between conductor and dielectric?

Conductors conduct electricity or heat, energy a Dielectric is essentially an insulator.This has nothing to do with juvenile literature. by the way, waxed paper has a Dielectric of 540,00 Volts per Cubic centimeter, as determined by l909 engineering manuals. I will not reveal how I learned that!

What is the Difference between dielectric and insulator?

The difference between dielectric and insulator lies in its field of application.Dielectrics are used to store the electric charges, while insulators are used to block the flow of electric charges ( they more or less act like a wall).While all dielectrics are insulators (they don't allow the flow of electric charges through them) all insulators aren't dielectric because they can't store charges unlike dielectrics.


What is the difference between the working voltage and test proof voltage for dielectric footwear?

Working Voltage is the voltage at which the boot is safe at. Test Proof voltage is what the boot was tested up to before it failed. However you must keep in mind that if you are in wet conditions that can significantly lower the rating of the boot. Also voltage does not kill you it is the amperage.
