If you’ve done any amount of electronic design work, you’ll be familiar with the need for decoupling capacitors. Sometimes a chip’s datasheet will tell you exactly what kind of ca… ...

A multimeter is a tool that measures electrical properties like resistance, voltage, and current. It is used to test electrical components such as diodes and capacitors.

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 ...

So, test the capacitors while the system is running for a more accurate reading, and it works doubly in your favor as a way to impress other technicians with your newly found math skills. Remember ...
