Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

Ceramic capacitors are pretty much the pixie dust of the electronics world. If you sprinkle enough of them on a circuit, everything will work. These ceramic capacitors aren’t the newest and latest ...

Among the various diagnostic methods used to assess transformer condition, capacitance and Tan Delta testing has gained broad acceptance as an effective means of evaluating insulation health. By ...

Capacitance-voltage (C-V) testing is widely used to determine semiconductor parameters, particularly in MOSCAP and MOSFET structures. However, other types of semiconductor devices and technologies ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Faster and easier to use than self-balancing capacitance bridges, the CDAX 605 combines an exceptionally ...

ABB has announced the development of a portable capacitance meter, the CB-2000, that is simpler to use and easier to carry than any other measuring devices previously available. ABB has announced the ...

If you’re the person tasked with controlling the level of fly ash in collection hoppers, you know how difficult the application can be. What at first looks like a simple measurement quickly proves to ...

The capacitance of a classical conductor is determined solely by its geometry. When charged, the electrons distribute in space in a manner that minimizes their electrostatic energy. Quantum mechanics ...

Common traits of digital multimeters (DMMs). Classifying DMMs by their amount of digits. What role do digitizers play in making voltage measurements? Measuring voltage may be the most basic ...
