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 ...

The Quick-Check Transformer & Capacitor Tester from HD Electric is a versatile tool for quick and easy checks of capacitors, transformers and the connections made to them. In the field, the ...

A capacitor is an electrical component that stores an electric charge and is used in filter circuits, since AC signals pass through while DC signals are blocked. Televisions use a large number of ...

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

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, ...
