Dielectric Withstanding Voltage (DWV)

250% of rated voltage

(5 ±1 seconds and charge/discharge not exceeding 50 mA)

Dissipation Factor (DF) Maximum Limit @ 25ºC

5%(10 V), 3.5%(16 V and 25 V) and 2.5%(50 V to 250 V)

Insulation Resistance (IR) Limit @ 25°C

See Insulation Resistance Limit Table

(Rated voltage applied for 120 ±5 seconds @ 25°C)

Regarding aging rate: Capacitance measurements (including tolerance) are indexed to a referee time of 48 or 1,000 hours. Please refer to a part number specific

datasheet for referee time details.

To obtain IR limit, divide MΩ-µF value by the capacitance and compare to GΩ limit. Select the lower of the two limits.

Capacitance and dissipation factor (DF) measured under the following conditions:

1 kHz ±50 Hz and 1.0 ±0.2 Vrms if capacitance ≤ 10 µF

120 Hz ±10 Hz and 0.5 ±0.1 Vrms if capacitance > 10 µF

Note: When measuring capacitance it is important to ensure the set voltage level is held constant. The HP4284 and Agilent E4980 have a feature known as

Automatic Level Control (ALC). The ALC feature should be switched to "ON."
