If a measuring circuit yields results in terms of seriescomponents, the parallel capacitance must be calculated fromEq 5 before the corrections and permittivity are
30、 calculated.3.2.7.5 DiscussioneThe permittivity of dry air at 23Cand standard pressure at 101.3 kPa is 1.000536 (1).6Itsdivergence from unity, k8 1, is inversely proportional toabsolute temperature and directly proportional to atmosphericpressure. The increase in permittivity when the space issatura
31、ted with water vapor at 23C is 0.00025 (2, 3), and variesapproximately linearly with temperature expressed in degreesCelsius, from 10 to 27C. For partial saturation the increase isproportional to the relative humidity4. Summary of Test Method4.1 Capacitance and ac resistance measurements are madeon
32、a specimen. Relative permittivity is the specimen capaci-tance divided by a calculated value for the vacuum capacitance(for the same electrode configuration), and is significantlydependent on resolution of error sources. Dissipation factor,generally independent of the specimen geometry, is alsocalcu

Significance and
36、 Use5.1 PermittivityInsulating materials are used in general intwo distinct ways, (1) to support and insulate components of anelectrical network from each other and from ground, and (2)tofunction as the dielectric of a capacitor. For the first use, it isgenerally desirable to have the capacitance of
37、 the support assmall as possible, consistent with acceptable mechanical,chemical, and heat-resisting properties. A low value of permit-tivity is thus desirable. For the second use, it is desirable tohave a high value of permittivity, so that the capacitor is ableto be physically as small as possible
38、. Intermediate values ofpermittivity are sometimes used for grading stresses at the edgeor end of a conductor to minimize ac corona. Factors affectingpermittivity are discussed in Appendix X3.5.2 AC LossFor both cases (as electrical insulation and ascapacitor dielectric) the ac loss generally needs
39、to be small,both in order to reduce the heating of the material and tominimize its effect on the rest of the network. In highfrequency applications, a low value of loss index is particularlydesirable, since for a given value of loss index, the dielectricloss increases directly with frequency. In cer
40、tain dielectricconfigurations such as are used in terminating bushings andcables for test, an increased loss, usually obtained fromincreased conductivity, is sometimes introduced to control thevoltage gradient. In comparisons of materials having approxi-mately the same permittivity or in the use of
41、any material undersuch conditions that its permittivity remains essentially con-stant, it is potentially useful to consider also dissipation factor,power factor, phase angle, or loss angle. Factors affecting acloss are discussed in Appendix X3.5.3 CorrelationWhen adequate correlating data are avail-
42、able, dissipation factor or power factor are useful to indicatethe characteristics of a material in other respects such asdielectric breakdown, moisture content, degree of cure, anddeterioration from any cause. However, it is possible thatdeterioration due to thermal aging will not affect dissipatio
43、nfactor unless the material is subsequently exposed to moisture.While the initial value of dissipation factor is important, thechange in dissipation factor with aging is often much moresignificant.6. General Measurement Considerations6.1 Fringing and Stray CapacitanceThese test methodsare based upon
44、 measuring the specimen capacitance betweenelectrodes, and measuring or calculating the vacuum capaci-tance (or air capacitance for most practical purposes) in thesame electrode system. For unguarded two-electrode measure-ments, the determination of these two values required tocompute the permittivi
45、ty, kx8 is complicated by the presence ofundesired fringing and stray capacitances which get included inthe measurement readings. Fringing and stray capacitances areillustrated by Figs. 5 and 6 for the case of two unguarded6The boldface numbers in parentheses refer to the list of references appended
46、 tothese test methods. FIG. 5 Stray Capacitance, Unguarded ElectrodesD150 113parallel plate electrodes between which the specimen is to beplaced for measurement. In addition to the desired directinterelectrode capacitance, Cv, the system as seen at terminalsa-a8 includes the following:Ce= fringing o
47、r edge capacitance,Cg= capacitance to ground of the outside face of eachelectrode,CL= capacitance between connecting leads,CLg= capacitance of the leads to ground, andCLe= capacitance between the leads and the electrodes.Only the desired capacitance, Cv, is independent of theoutside environment, all
48、 the others being dependent to a degreeon the proximity of other objects. It is necessary to distinguishbetween two possible measuring conditions to determine theeffects of the undesired capacitances. When one measuringelectrode is grounded, as is often the case, all of the capaci-tances described a
49、re in parallel with the desired Cv- with theexception of the ground capacitance of the grounded electrodeand its lead. If Cvis placed within a chamber with walls atguard potential, and the leads to the chamber are guarded, thecapacitance to ground no longer appears, and the capacitanceseen at a-a8 includes Cvand Ceonly. For a given electrodearrangement, the edge capacitance, Ce, can be calculated withreasonable accuracy when the dielectric is air. When a speci-men is placed between the electrodes, the value of the edgecapacitance can
