A capacitor is an electrical component that stores electrical energy. It is common to find capacitors in electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and radios. However, over time, a capacitor ...

Tools To test a capacitor, you’ll need the following tools: A digital or analog multimeter with a capacitance measurement function is ideal. Ensure your multimeter is set to the capacitance (F) mode.

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 ...

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… ...
