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 caps to place where, ...

HD Electric Co.'s Cap Check line of capacitor testers are designed to identify internal problems with a capacitor or capacitor bank and have proven to be a valuable asset in maintaining both ...

Capacitor discharge circuits are used extensively in fast pulse generation. In such applications, the capacitor's stray inductance (or equivalent series inductance ...

The transformer and capacitor tester, developed by Hastings, a global supplier of hot line tools and equipment, ensures the safety of hotline workers so that they can perform their jobs with ...

Matching several capacitors, without needing a really precise value, can be accomplished with a "high-tech" laboratory capacitance meter. But this is cumbersome and overkill, and not everyone has one.

I am trying to repair a monitor that went bad on me a couple of years back. It failed one night with a "pop" sound and the screen went black. Since opening it up though, I have been unable to identify ...
