Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

Virtually every type of electronic hardware incorporates capacitors, which are widely used for functions such as bypassing, coupling, filtering, and tunneling electronic circuits. However, to be ...

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 ...

www.quadtech.comOver the past 3-1/2 years, microprocessor current has increased by a factor of 5 and equivalent series resistance (ESR) has dropped by a factor of 7. Next-generation microprocessors ...

Powered by a 9V battery or an optional ac wall adapter, the Model 881 handheld tester can be used to measure the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of electrolytic capacitors in or out of circuit. The ...
