Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...
A portable in-circuit ESR and DCR capacitor tester, the Model 881 uses a standard 9-VDC battery or optional AC wall adapter as its power source. The unit measures the equivalent series resistance of ...
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, ...
A 9-V battery or an optional ac wall adapter can power the Model 881 portable in-circuit equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and dc resistance (DCR) capacitor tester ...
Although there are other technologies competing for the same market – most notably polymer and hybrid polymer capacitors – electronics design engineers feel comfortable with electrolytics. They know ...
