In residential and light commercial HVACR, we work with run capacitors every day, and you may have noticed that they fail quite often. Because of this, many companies are beginning to integrate ...

When you’re testing or debugging some mains-powered gear, plugging it directly into the outlet can often be an exciting ...

When employing electrolytic, ceramic, and film capacitors in various configurations for high ripple current applications, you run the risk of stressing the capacitor, which leads to premature failure.

Solid-state ac supplies replace motor-generator and tap-changing transformers to offer the same tests at the push of a button • Solid-state ac-power sources combine the variable-frequency and ...

A 9-V battery or an optional ac wall adapter can power the Model 881 portable in-circuit equivalent-series resistance (ESR) and dc resistance (DCR) capacitor tester ...

Capacitors behave differently than resistors, where resistors allow a flow of electrons through them directly proportional to the voltage drop, and capacitors oppose changes in voltage by drawing or ...
