to test breakdown voltage of single daglass enamelled copper strip

[martense]

Dear All,
i would like to ask how to know the breakdown voltage value of enamelled single daglass covered copper strip?can i use baker hipot test for this?

thank you,

regards,

Marten

The guys that make magnet wire use to twist two wires together and apply HV to the pair to find out the breakdown voltage. I am not sure if that results in twice the breakdown voltage of a single wire, but that is the method. I guess that you can use one unenamelled wire if you want to get the voltage for a single wire.
Finding the breakdown voltage of a copper strip would follow a similar path, I guess.
