A rising dissipation factor measured on a machine winding year after year indicates

  • A.progressive deterioration of the insulation
  • B.that the capacitance of the winding to earth has fallen with the passage of time
  • C.an error in the standard capacitor
  • D.nothing in particular

Answer: A

Voids, moisture and contamination all increase the loss component of the current without changing the capacitance much, so the loss tangent climbs. Because it is a ratio it is independent of the size of the specimen, which makes it comparable from one test to the next.
