DISCUSSION

F. Measuring Methods,

1. h e capacitance value and the tangent of lose angle of paper capacitors were measured at 1000 cycles per second. Special clips were used for attaching the capacitors to the measuring terminals of the bridge, The same polarity was always used.

2, The capacitance value and the tangent of loss angle of ceramic capacitors were measured at 990 kilocycles per second. The length and position of the leads were kept the same during all the measurements so as not to influence the results of the measurements. Special clips were used for attaching the capaci- tors to the wasuring terminals of the bridge. All interconnect- ing leads were maintained as close to the original position as possible.

3, The insulation resistance between terminals was meas- ured with full rated voltage. The voltage was applied at once through the internal resistance of the test apparatus. The ca- pacitor was charged for 20 seconds and the test instrument was balanced at the end of an additional 10 seconds. To determine the insulation resistance between the terminals and the case the same procedure was followed, except that the charging time was only 10 seconds and the balancing time 5 seconds. When measuring tha insulation resistance between terminals (T-T) of capacitors encased in metal a guard circuit was used. A achematic of the circuit, the special jig, and explanation are given in Fig, - 5 of the appendix.

4, The resistance values of the resistors were measured with a DC voltage of 90 volts. The t h e of voltage application was kept to five seconds or less. During the few instances when the five second time limit was exceeded the resistor was allowed to cool off before the voltage was reapplied for making the meas- urement.

5. The same instruments were used for making the meas- urements during the entire test period. This obviated the pos- sibility of slight differences between instruments from influenc- ing the measurements. The instruments were calibrated periodi- odically during the test period to assure accuracy of measurements.

F. Measuring Methods (contfd) .

6. Whenever the r e l a t i ve humidity i n the laboratory ex- ceeded 75 per cent, measurements were made i n an a i r conditioned q i room. In some instances ce r ta in measuring equipment was already located i n a i r conditioned rooms. , I n such instances al1,meaeure- 1

aients were performed i n thess rooms, regardless of the r e l a t i ve 1 humidity i n the laborat'ory .

7. The temperature and re la t ive humidity a t each'meas- urement time are given on the data sheets.

Measurements . . . Before, During, and After the Temperature Humidity cycle.

1. Intervals of measurements.

a . The components were inserted and removed from the temperature and humidity chamber and measured a t the in te rva l s specif ied i n Figures - 6 and 1 i n the appendix.

b. For t e s t s e r i e s A and C the components were re- moved from the chamber 7 t o 8 hours a f t e r the heat was switched o f f , After removal from the chamber the components were then exposed for one hour t o the atmospheric conditions fo r recovery.

c. h e atmospheric conditions fo r recovery were maintained as follows:

Temperature ; 20'~. f 2'~. Relative humidity: 75 per cent f 2 per cent

These conditions were achieved by constructing a cubical box with sides 600 millimeters long, The f loor of the box was covered with a s t a in l e s s s t e e l t r ay containing sodium chloride (not common s a l t ) , which was occasionally sprinkled with water. The surface of the sodium chloride was k e p t moist, and care was taken tha t it wag not flooded with water. The components t o be conditioned were placed on a shelf half-way up the box. A i r w a s circulated by means 0 f . a small fan over the t ray , up through holes cut a t two corners of the ohelf, over the samples and down through holes a t the.-oppoeite corners of the shel f . The motor of the fan was placed on the outs'ide of the box to prevent heat from ra is ing the temperature within the box, The r e l a t i ve humidity

G. Measurements Before. Durinn and After the Temerature and Humidity cycle (cont 'd) ,

was measured by wet-and-dry bulb thermometers, The box was kept in an area in which the ambient temperature was maintained at approximately 20°c. Figures 8 and 9 in the appendix are interior - and exterior views of the box.

2. Parameters measured.

a, Initial measurements were made on each type of component prior to the start of the test.

b. The measurements consisted of measuring capaci- tance, tangent of loss angle, and terminal-to-terminal (T-T) insulation resistance. Capacitors encased in metal were also measured for insulation resistance from terminals-to-case (T-C). Resistors were measured for resistance only.

c. The measurements made at each scheduled removal from the chamber were the same as in b, above.

d. The final measurements for each type of component were the same as in b, above.

e. The only exception to c, above, was in test series 9. Each component in this test series waa measured after three 24-hour cycles. The components were removed from the chamber and measured as rapidly as possible to determine the value of insula- tion resistance with conditions as close as possible to those in the chamber, Droplets of water were not shaken off nor vere the eamples placed in the chamber in which atmospheric conditions for recovery were maintained as described in paragraph G-1-c, -

H, Identification of Temperature-Humidity Chambers.

1. As test series A and 9 were started simultaneously, asld test series X was still in progress when test aeries C was started (at the conclusion of test series J) it was not feasible t o perform all testa in the same temperature-humidity chamber.

2. The temperature-humidity chambers used for the teats were made by the American Instrument Company, Inc., Model 4-3475,

DISCUSSION

K. Details of Changes in Schedule and Other Occurrence8 (contld). - 5 , Throughout the entire test period the insulation re-

si~tanca (T-T) of components bearing code 1a/A were erratic, The indicating galvanometer fluctuated rapidly and many times the ink eulsation resistance apparently was beyond the infinity mark of the test instrument. The fault was not in the instrument as other capacitor8 that were masured immediately after these occurrences on the same instrument were stable. Measurements were made with and without the guard circuit with similar erratic results. .

6. After one week in the temperature-humidity chamber nine of the fifteen components bearing code 1b/A had their metal cases tarnished from five to thirty per cent (area). At the end of the second week the remainder of the cases were tarnished approximately the same amount, At the end of the test period all il cases were tarnished 80 to 100 per cent (area). a d

i 1 7. Component IIIa/A/36 had one end broken off, beyond

the wire lead, at the start of the test. Component 111a/A/37 had T

a chip out of the paint at the start. These flaws apparently had t

no effect on the survival of the components. i" -.

8. After the third week component 111d/~/36 developed a loose lead. This apparently had no effect on the component as -

{ 1 measurements during the remainder of the scheduled test period -. showed normal behaviour as compared to the other components of the Same type. 11
