For the makers who need to construct their own capacitors, you must choose a dielectric for it, otherwise known as the material that goes between the plates. One popular material is paraffin wax that ...
Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...
Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance) and series resistance play an ...
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 ...
An AC bridge circuit can be used to measure the unknown capacitance of a sensor, such as a relative humidity (RH) sensor. Some RH sensors have a transfer function of capacitance vs %RH. Usually the ...
Capacitor Voltage Transformers (CVTs) are central to modern power systems, where they not only scale high transmission voltages into measurable signals but also ensure the precision needed for ...
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 ...
Ever wonder what goes on inside of an electrolytic capacitor? Nick Visic from AiSHi Capacitors shows how these popular capacitors work in this tear-down video from DesignCon. The screw terminal ...
