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 ...

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 ...

Megger’s new CDAX 605 test set measure capacitance and dissipation factor at high voltages. Faster and easier to use than self-balancing capacitance bridges, the CDAX 605 combines an exceptionally ...

Megger's CDAX605 is a capacitance and dissipation factor test set to be used with an external power source/generator. Dec. 4, 2012 Megger's CDAX605 is a capacitance and dissipation factor test set to ...

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 ...

TDK Corporation recently introduced DeltaCap X Black Premium—a new series of EPCOS MKD capacitors for power factor correction (PFC). Capacitors in the series have rated voltages between 440 and 850 V ...

Find a downloadable version of this story in pdf format at the end of the story. In any industry, there are applications whose failure could mean lost revenue and increased annoyance. In very few ...
