The paper assessed the possibility of using acoustic emission from the dielectric sample during stepwise loading. The electromagnetic signal from the sample was detected by using an apparatus of mechanical repeatedly pulsed excitation of the sample at each stage of loading. It was found that the response consists of a deterministic component (due to the excitation pulse) and random components noise and acoustic emission. It were allocated random components, calculated their standard deviations. The influence of the electromagnetic emission on standard deviation of the random component of response under step load on the specimen was evaluated. It has been shown that the component of the electromagnetic emission can be an informative parameter to evaluate defectiveness of the object of a dielectric material under load.
