Dissipation factor (DF) and Tan δ — that is the Q. This month, we'll look at DF and lay the groundwork for next month's blog about Q. When discussing power losses through a capacitor, DF and Tan δ are ...

The CTD series of Dissipation factor Verification test sets have been developed to allow the end-user of Dissipation Factor (Power factor) test sets to verify the accuracy of the readings of ...

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 ...

In the past five to ten years, there has been a big shakeout in the capacitor industry with at least 15 major manufacturers ceasing production for various reasons. Product lines have also been ...

A UK consortium has developed a 200°C Pb-free ceramic capacitor for automotive power converters. Key to the capacitor is a completely new dielectric material that does not suffer from the ...

Reconstituted mica-paper capacitors provide long life and stable performance for high-voltage circuits. Reconstituted mica-paper capacitors (RMPCs), a refinement of mica-based capacitors that have ...

Electrocube has created a series of metallised polypropylene film capacitors for high power inverters in military and commercial, land and sea, applications. Voltage ratings of 400, 600 and 1,000V are ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Many of today's electronic systems rely on wound polycarbonate film capacitors for operation at temperatures exceeding +105°C. First introduced in the ...

Since capacitance bridges measure capacitance using a small AC signal voltage, it is possible to measure DF simultaneously. So, when capacitors are 100% tested, both capacitance and DF are measured at ...
