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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Faster and ...

ABB has announced the development of a portable capacitance meter, the CB-2000, that is simpler to use and easier to carry than any other measuring devices previously available. ABB has announced the ...

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 ...

Two new ICs are described as fully integrated devices that offer direct capacitance-to-digital and impedance-to-digital conversion. The single-chip AD7745 integrates all stages of ...

Bearing oil film thickness (BOFT) values were determined for the front main bearing of a four–cylinder engine at different engine speeds, loads, and oil temperatures using two different measurement ...
