INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

___________

INSULATING LIQUIDS –
MEASUREMENT OF RELATIVE PERMITTIVITY,
DIELECTRIC DISSIPATION FACTOR (TAN δ)
AND DC RESISTIVITY

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

(standards.iteh.ai)
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
SIST EN national
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding 60247:2004or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter. https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/07b5b385-927c-4104-a2ea-
5) IEC provides no marking procedure a5fce865f396/sist-en-60247-2004
to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 60247 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 10: Fluids for
electrotechnical applications.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1978. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.

The main changes deal with the preferred measurement method.

60247 © IEC:2004 –9–

The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

FDIS Report on voting

10/573/FDIS 10/575/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2015. At this date, the publication will be

• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION

Health and safety

General caution. This International standard does not purport to address all the safety
problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of the standard to establish
appropriate health and safety practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.

Environment

This standard gives rise to insulating liquids, chemicals, used sample containers and oil
contaminated solids. The disposal of these items should be carried out according to local
regulations with regard to their impact on the environment. Every precaution should be taken to
prevent the release into the environment of these liquids.
