A dielectric material test fixture, such as the Keysight 16451B, has three electrodes. Two of them form a capacitor and the third provides a guard electrode. The guard electrode is necessary because when an electric field is established between two electrodes, part of it will flow beyond the MUT mounted between them (see Figure 2).

The guard electrode is maintained at the same potential as the central electrode. With this arrangement the major voltage drop across the insulator is across the outer insulator between the outer electrode and the guard ring so that any charge leaking in does not get to the central electrode.
