A tan delta or dissipation factor measurement on insulation reveals

  • A.the dielectric losses and their growth with voltage
  • B.the mechanical strength of the insulation system
  • C.the exact location of any weak point in the winding
  • D.the temperature rise the machine will reach on load

Answer: A

Correct answer: the dielectric losses and their growth with voltage

Tan delta measures how much of the current through the insulation is in phase with the voltage, which is the loss component. More revealing than the absolute value is the tip-up: a sharp rise as the voltage is increased indicates voids ionising internally, and therefore deterioration in progress rather than merely a lossy material.
