Narrow Band Dielectric Frequency Response (NB DFR) and Line Frequency Dissipation Factor (LF DF) are techniques for assessing dielectric properties, each with unique advantages. LF DF testing at line frequency (50 or 60 Hz) is simple and detects general insulation degradation, but it lacks detailed insights into specific issues like moisture or contamination. NB DFR, however, measures dissipation factor across multiple frequencies (1 Hz to 500 Hz), giving a deeperview of insulation health and detecting early-stage problems that LF DF might miss. This broader frequency approach makes NB DFRmore effective for proactive maintenance and risk assessment in electrical systems.
