Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Have you ever found the need to measure the capacitance of a capacitor? No multimeter handy (for shame)? Well, as it turns out you can actually measure capacitance using your Arduino Uno, with no ...

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 ...

Capacitors are classified according to their dielectric’s type. Electrolytic capacitors are popular in power electronic circuits, due to their high volumetric efficiency and excellent price ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

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 ...

GE Multilin has released the C70, Shunt Capacitor Bank protection, control, automation and monitoring system. The C70 is an advanced protection and control system for shunt capacitor banks ...

[Norman] put together a rather impressive 22,500 uF capacitor bank. In addition to find things to torture with the strong magnetic field generated by a sudden discharge, he’d like to measure the ...

In back-end semiconductor processing it is important to improve the performance of semiconductors due to the limitations of miniaturization in front-end processes. To achieve this goal, the industry ...

Ceramic capacitors play an oversized role in circuit performance as a major contributor to voltage regulator control loop stability and power delivery network (PDN) impedance. When designing with ...

If you’re the person tasked with controlling the level of fly ash in collection hoppers, you know how difficult the application can be. What at first looks like a simple measurement quickly proves to ...

A facility manager reported its uninterruptible power supply (UPS) was constantly alarming on high voltage during random periods throughout the week. The voltage would occasionally reach or exceed on ...
