The Alpha-A analyser from Novocontrol can be used to analyse dielectric materials over a broad range of frequencies and temperatures ( 3 µHz – 40 MHz, -35 to 150 °C). The system is currently limited to low voltage (up to 3 V)1, but can be used on a wide range of objects/materials. Dielectric response can be measured either using custom built setups, with a liquid/powder sample cell, or the test cell provided with the temperature control system. The system is computer controlled, and both frequency and temperature sweeps can be automatically run.

1 Currently up to 3V. The test fixtures are adapted for 300 V but this required equipment not currently available at Elpowerlab 

The system consists of the following main parts (links provide additional information): 

• Novocontrol Technologies, Alpha-A High performance Modular Measurement system 
• ZG4 general interphase 
• Heat/Cool System PHECOS  
• BDS 1308 - Hermetically sealed parallel plate sample cell for liquids and powders
