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 ...

Even though the cables between a source supply and a regulator are basic dc, some basic issues must be addressed to ensure viable results and test integrity. Every engineer knows that a stable, ...
