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 ...

In-circuit test (ICT) has been instrumental in identifying manufacturing process defects and component defects on countless varieties of populated printed circuit board (PCB) assemblies for more than ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

Engineers have long used thermal-cycle testing determine the reliability of PWBs (printed wire boards). Traditionally, engineers have used thermal-cycling ovens, liquid to liquid and fluidized sand, ...

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 ...

A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230314495A1) describes a capacitance measurement circuit that includes an analog front-end circuit, a parasitic capacitor, an analog to digital ...

Change in life is inevitable. You know this, yet sometimes you just choose not to accept it. You just close your eyes and think the world has also stopped. But even you realize that’s not the case. It ...
