Most simple circuits you'll find for measuring reactive components cover only a limited range of component values. Here's a circuit built from a handful of inexpensive parts that will let you measure ...

When comparing published electrical values, engineers require a common basis for comparison. Ideally, a 100 nH inductor with a self resonant frequency (SRF) of 1 GHz from one manufacturer is ...

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 ...

Ever wondered how engineers inspect capacitors, resistors, and inductors? The solution is frequently in a device known as an LCR meter. The tool is quite valuable since it measures three significant ...

THIS book is a theoretical and practical handbook for the use of advanced students. The best methods at present in use for measuring inductance, capacitance, and effective resistance both at low and ...

We’re big fans of surface mount parts. SMD components are cheaper, take less board space, and don’t require drilling; all the coolest new parts are only available in SMD packages. Smart Tweezers are a ...

WHEN we consider that all matter is composed of electric ions which are in constant oscillation, it is evident that the study and measurement of electrical oscillations must always remain a leading ...

Inductors range from RF coils used in communications through switchmode inductors used in power supplies and differential and common mode inductors in EMI filters. As switchmode power supply designs ...

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 ...

When designers think of passive components, they think of manufacturing tolerances for inductors and capacitors that are typically ± 20% or ± 10%. That's okay in theory, but not when these components ...

This paper defines a method to measure the chip die pad capacitance using time delay reflectometry (TDR). This method is useful for measuring the low-value capacitance that is present at the end of a ...

Variable current will generate inductance, capacitance, and their related properties of inductive and capacitive reactance. Although there's no energy loss that directly results from these properties, ...
