Introduction
The Holiday Detector Voltage Setting Calculator is a useful tool that allows you to easily calculate the voltage settings for detecting holidays or defects in coating materials. A holiday is a small gap or break in the coating layer that can affect its performance.
This tool helps you determine the appropriate voltage for your holiday detection process by entering values such as paint thickness, type of coating, and dielectric strength. This simple and fast calculation will ensure that your coatings are well tested for any flaws and, therefore, safe and reliable in your projects.
How to Use the Paint Voltage Calculator
Step 1: Paint Film Thickness
In the input field, “Paint Film Thickness (in mm):”, type in the paint film thickness in millimeters. For instance, if the paint is 0.5 mm thick, type 0.5.
Step 2: Type of Coating
From the dropdown menu labeled “Type of Coating:”, choose the correct coating type for the paint. The options available are:
• Epoxy Coating
• Zinc-Rich Coating
• Polyurethane Coating
• Alkyd Coating
Step 3: Enter the Dielectric Strength
In the input area, under the heading of “Dielectric Strength (in volts per mm):”, put in the dielectric strength of the coating material. The manufacturer usually supplies this value; it is given in volts/mm.
Step 4: Compute the Voltage
Once you have entered all the needed information (thickness, coating type, and dielectric strength), click on the “Calculate Voltage” button. The calculator will compute two values:
• Breakdown Voltage
• Test Voltage
These are derived from the thickness, dielectric strength, and the type of coating.
Step 5: View the Results
Once you click “Calculate Voltage”, your results will be shown below the form, the calculated Breakdown Voltage and Test Voltage for the coating you have selected.
Here is one example:
For Epoxy Coating: Thickness = 0.5 mm Dielectric Strength = 8 V/mm Breakdown Voltage = 4.00

Paint Thickness: First, you ought to know how thick the paint layer is. This is determined in millimeters (mm).
Dielectric Strength: Next, you find out the dielectric strength of the coating. This will tell you the amount of electrical voltage the coating can handle without breaking down. It is measured in volts per millimeter (V/mm).
Formula: The voltage calculation depends on two major factors:
Breakdown Voltage: This is calculated as the product of the paint thickness and the dielectric strength. The formula is as follows:
Breakdown Voltage
=
Paint Thickness
×
Dielectric Strength
Breakdown Voltage=Paint Thickness×Dielectric Strength
Test Voltage: The formula used for this is
Test Voltage
=
1180
×
Paint Thickness
Test Voltage=1180×
Paint Thickness
This will provide you with the voltage you will use to test the coating in order to pick out any defects.
Choose the Lower Value: The final voltage setting will be the smaller of the two values, calculated for both the breakdown voltage and test voltage. This ensures that the voltage is safe for holiday detection without damaging the coating.
Thus, by putting in the paint thickness, coating type, and dielectric strength, the tool will calculate the values for you and show you the correct voltage for your holiday detector.
