BS EN 61284:1996 is a British Standard that specifies methods for the determination of the dielectric constant and dissipation factor of solid electrical insulating materials in the frequency range from 1 MHz to 10 GHz.
The standard provides guidance on the measurement techniques and procedures to determine the electrical properties of insulating materials used in various applications, such as cables, capacitors, and printed circuit boards. It outlines the test methods for both the dielectric constant (relative permittivity) and the dissipation factor (loss tangent) of the materials.
The dielectric constant represents the ability of a material to store electrical energy in an electric field, while the dissipation factor indicates the energy lost as heat during the process. These properties are crucial in designing and evaluating the performance of electrical insulation materials.
BS EN 61284:1996 specifies the measurement methods based on the resonator technique, cavity perturbation technique, and waveguide techniques. It outlines the test setups, measurement procedures, and data analysis techniques to ensure accurate and reliable results.
It's worth noting that standards can be subject to updates and revisions over time. As my knowledge cutoff is in September 2021, there may have been updates or newer editions of this standard since then. Therefore, it's always recommended to refer to the latest version or consult the relevant standards organization for the most up-to-date information.
