Dissipation factor

The tangent of the loss angle of the insulating material. A measure of the power factor (or losses) of a capacitor, given as D.F. = 6.28 fRC X 100%, where R is the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the capacitor, f is the frequency (Hz.), and C is capacitance (Farads). Dissipation Factor varies with frequency and temperature.
