Questions and Answers
-
How Does the Guard Ring Electrode Configuration Improve Measurement Accuracy?
The integrated guard ring reduces fringing field effects, and stray capacitance is corrected with an air-reference measurement using the supplied spacers. This matters most for low-loss materials and precise permittivity measurements.
-
What Temperature Range Is Supported for Material Testing Applications?
The DSH 100 operates from -55°C to +125°C, so you can characterise materials across a wide temperature range, from low to elevated temperatures.
-
What Frequency and Voltage Range Does the DSH 100 Cover?
The DSH 100 covers 5 µHz to 5 MHz and has a maximum operating voltage of 200 V peak.
-
What Safety Features Are Incorporated in the DSH 100 Design?
The DSH 100 includes:
- a mandatory safety interlock that prevents operation with the housing open
- full metal shielding
- construction designed for operator safety during high-voltage measurements
-
Can the DSH 100 Monitor Epoxy Curing Processes in Real-time?
Yes. The exchangeable electrodes and wide frequency range let the DSH 100 track changes in dielectric properties as epoxy cures from liquid to solid.
-
Which International Standards Does the DSH 100 Comply with for Dielectric Testing?
The DSH 100 supports measurements in accordance with ASTM D150, IEC 62631-2-1 (2018) and IEC 62631-3-1 (2016).
-
What Types of Materials Can the DSH 100 Analyse Effectively?
The DSH 100 is designed for solid dielectric materials used in electronic and electrical applications, including:
- nano-composites
- polymers
- epoxy resins
- insulation papers
- glasses
- thin films
-
What Frequency Range Does the DSH 100 Support for Dielectric Measurements?
The DSH 100 covers 5 µHz to 5 MHz, so you can analyse different polarisation mechanisms and dielectric effects across many frequency decades.
-
Can the DSH 100 Be Used with Different Impedance Analysers Besides the SPECTANO 100?
Yes. Besides the SPECTANO 100, the DSH 100 works with other impedance analysers, LCR meters and the Bode 100 via its LEMO triaxial connectors (an optional triaxial-to-BNC adapter cable is available for the Bode 100 and BNC-equipped LCR meters). The analyser's source must be galvanically isolated.
-
What Sample Sizes and Thicknesses Can the DSH 100 Accommodate?
The DSH 100 takes samples from 50mm x 50mm to 70mm x 70mm, with thickness from 0.1mm to 20mm.
