16 Dissipation factor and permittivity
Replace the existing text with the following:
A frequency range of 50 Hz to 100 MHz is covered and two methods are available.
16.1 Method 1
The test shall be made on a flat specimen in accordance with IEC 60250, modified by the
instructions of this clause, at a frequency to be agreed between purchaser and supplier and at
a temperature of 23 °C ± 2 K unless otherwise specified in the relevant material specification of
IEC 60674-3.
60674-2 Amend. 1  IEC:2001 – 5 –
At low frequencies and for thick films, it is usual to make the measurements on specimens
made from one layer of film. However, it has been found that at a frequency higher than 1 MHz
very thin films may be measured more conveniently and accurately by using a large number of
layers (sheets) of the material being measured. Air shall be excluded from this stack of sheets
by pressing. The average specimen thickness is determined from the density of the material,
the area of the stack and the mass of the stack.
16.1.1 Sample and specimen handling
Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with the material specification. The state and
condition of the material shall not be altered.
The samples and test specimens shall be handled with care to avoid contamination, scratches
and finger-prints.
A minimum number of three test specimens shall be used unless otherwise specified in the
material specification.
16.1.2 Sample conditioning prior to measurement
Any conditioning prior to measurement shall be in accordance with the material specification,
or otherwise agreed between purchaser and supplier.
NOTE 1 The properties of film materials may be substantially affected by moisture. Standard conditions for use
prior to, and during, the testing of solid electrical insulating materials are given in IEC 60212. The relative
humidities associated with various salt solutions are given in IEC 60260.
NOTE 2 The properties of film materials may also be substantially affected by heat, mechanical stress, nuclear
radiation, X-rays, etc. The methods described may be used to assess the magnitude of these effects.
NOTE 3 It is recommended that specimens be measured in the 'as received' state and after conditioning in a dry
atmosphere.
Samples with painted, evaporated or sputtered electrodes shall be conditioned after the
electrodes have been applied, as painting and vacuum treatment will greatly influence the
moisture content of the material. Electrodes of these types are somewhat permeable to
moisture, but, if such el
