For making high resistance measurements on capacitors with high voltage ratings, a 1000V source with built-in current limiting is best. For a given capacitor, a larger applied voltage within the voltage rating of the capacitor will produce a larger leakage current.
A computer controls the instruments to perform the tests automatically. One set of switches is used to apply the test voltage to each capacitor in turn; a second set of switches connects each capacitor to the electrometer’s picoammeter input after a suitable soak period.
Chip capacitors destined for high reliability testing are often designed with an added margin of safety, namely maximization of the dielectric thickness, and tested extensively for electrical properties prior to burn-in (e.g., capacitance, dissipation factor, and insulation resistance).
For small batch testing in a lab with a benchtop test setup, consider an electrometer that offers the convenience of a plug-in switching card. For testing larger batches of capacitors, look for an instrument that can integrate easily with a switching system capable of higher channel counts. TEST CONFIGURATIONS
However, to be useful, their capacitance value, voltage rating, temperature coefficient, and leakage resistance must be characterized. Although capacitor manufacturers perform these tests, many of the electronics manufacturers who build them into their products also perform some of these tests as quality checks.
The voltage rise varied from 200 to 400 V/sec. Disc ceramic and thin film capacitors of different value and different nominal voltages were tested. Experiments have shown that the breakdown voltage for all types of the capacitors tested is about ten times more than the nominal voltage of the capacitors.

Therefore, if we use dc test voltage, we ensure that the dc test voltage is under root 2 (or 1.414) times the ac test voltage, so the value of the dc voltage is equal to the ac voltage peaks. For example, for a 1500-V-ac voltage, the equivalent dc voltage to produce the same amount of stress on the insulation would be 1500 x 1.414 or 2121 V dc.
