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 ...

Every now and then you need to make your own capacitor. That includes choosing a dielectric for it, the insulating material that goes between the plates. One dielectric material that I use a lot is ...

This article is a general discussion of distributed capacitance, Cd, in transformers with emphasis on measurement. We will discuss how capacitance occurs, references to formula for calculating, how ...

Capacitance in a transformer winding cannot be avoided. The voltage difference between turns, between winding layers and between windings to core create these parasitic elements. In general, part of ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

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 ...

The Tettex 2830/2831 is designed to test dielectric properties of liquid and solid insulating materials. The Tettex 2830/2831 from Haefely Test is designed to test dielectric properties of liquid and ...

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 ...

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 ...
