Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Faster and easier to use than self-balancing capacitance bridges, the CDAX 605 combines an exceptionally ...

Self-heating can be calculated from its equivalent series resistance of the capacitor, which is directly related to its dissipation factor; typically 0.3 percent.

For example, dissipation factor results are within ± 0.05% + 0.002% for measurements made at 50 or 60 Hz, with measurement currents between 15 μA and 300 mA.

Due to the ferroelectric hysteresis loop, heat is generated when they are used fast: dissipation factor can be several percent. Correia’s material is a ferroelectric called bismuth ferrite-strontium ...

A fully automatic 12-kV insulation power/dissipation factor (tan delta) test set is the latest offering from Megger. Features include: Intelligent temperature correction (patent pending) High noise ...
