Voltage withstand
Voltage withstand refers to the ability of an electrical component, such as an insulator or a transformer, to endure high voltage levels without breaking down or failing. Think of it as a safety measure; components are designed to handle certain voltage thresholds to prevent electrical failures or accidents. If the voltage exceeds this limit, it can lead to short circuits or damage. Manufacturers test these limits to ensure equipment can operate safely under expected conditions, helping to protect both the device and the overall electrical system.
