The testing of insulating materials requires high voltages and sensitive instruments to detect any tiny leakage currents. A flashover test may be used to check the isolation provided by insulators, where an ever-increasing voltage is applied until a spark is produced (a flashover), the voltage at which the flashover occurs being measured.
