Many companies are beginning to integrate capacitor testing into their regular diagnoses and maintenance practices, and I applaud this; however, it does lead to a debate on how to do it.

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 ...

For all of you who have a multimeter thrown in a drawer or toolbox but don’t know how to use it, these instructions will help in your search for missing voltage.

The portable meter can also be used to make low-value, non-inductive resistor (DCR) measurements. The tester can detect a shorted capacitor in its DCR cycle and also determine its ESR value to ...

As utility engineers begin to look for ways to use the vast amount of information available from AMI meters to constantly improve overall operation of distribution systems, the new Marwell capacitor ...

The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter gives utility users the means to quickly and easily do basic meter set and reconnect testing. It has the features needed to repair most electrical problems. Using the ...

Then the charged capacitor is connected through the mercury-wetted relay—once to a similar uncharged capacitor (C2), then short-circuited via the same connecting leads.
