The integration method was used to build this capacitance meter where it measures the time it takes a capacitor to charge to calculate the capacitance. An Atmel AVR MCU is utilized in this circuit ...

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 ...

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 ...

Depending upon the distance between the surface of a capacitance probe and a target source, the electrical capacitance that is formed between these two objects will vary. In an effort to improve ...

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 ...

BEAVERTON, OR. Tektronix Inc. has announced the availability of two new source-measure unit (SMU) modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS parameter analyzer that can perform low-current measurements even ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
