Many companies are beginning to integrate capacitor testing into their regular diagnoses and maintenance practices, and I applaud this; however, it does lead to a debate on how to do it.

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 ...

The portable meter can also be used to make low-value, non-inductive resistor (DCR) measurements. The tester can detect a shorted capacitor in its DCR cycle and also determine its ESR value to ...

A VLF test is a pass/fail stress test and if a cable or splice defect cannot hold the test voltage, it will fail. The fault must be located and repaired, requiring the use of a capacitor discharge ...

ZENN Motor Company Inc. and EEStor, Inc. announced today that Evans Capacitor Company of East Providence, Rhode Island has agreed to assist both companies in developing testing protocols and to ...
