    Negative Dissipation Factor: Issue

    Uploaded by

    Balu M
    Negative dissipation factor values at high frequencies can occur due to small measured capacitance and large guard capacitance, or inductance in coils. This can be addressed by connecting guards of measurement cables together and cleaning bushings to decrease guard current. A negative dissipation factor indicates resonances formed by leakage currents over the test and guard electrodes, which can happen when the guard and test capacitances are high relative to the device capacitance.

    Reasons
    Small measured capacitance
    p
    and
    large guard capacitance
    Inductance of coils
    High guard currents (dirty bushings)

    Solution
    Connect both guards of measurement
    cables and maybe additional wire
    Decrease guard current (clean bushings,
    disconnect all devices)
    Check

    Explaination of Negative Dissipation Factor

    Due to leakage currents over CH and CL

    Explaination of Negative Dissipation Factor


    A negative dissipation factor mainly appears:
    - if CL and CH are high in relation to CHL
    - if the guard resistance and
    input resistance of the device is high

    e.g. the measured and simulated influence of guard resistance:
