Powered by a 9V battery or an optional ac wall adapter, the Model 881 handheld tester can be used to measure the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of electrolytic capacitors in or out of circuit. The ...

As electrolytic capacitors age, their internal resistance, also known as “equivalent series resistance” (ESR), gradually increases. This can eventually lead to equipment failure. Using this design, ...

Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

HD Electric Co.'s Cap Check line of capacitor testers are designed to identify internal problems with a capacitor or capacitor bank and have proven to be a valuable asset in maintaining both ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

Marwell Corporation will feature its AMI Capacitor Monitor adapter in Booth #3708 at DistribuTECH 2015. Marwell will showcase products developed to address the growing need for improved efficiency, ...
