Measurements of Dielectric Constant and Loss
Need to measure the dielectric constant of a solid or
liquid material? Integrate a QuadTech 7000 Series Precision
LCR Meter and a Dielectric Product's Type LD-3 Cell for a
complete measurement solution. The Contact Method, Air Gap
Method and Two Fluid Method are discussed and illustrated plus
calculations are given for determining the sample's
capacitance.

Helpful Tips on Measuring Capacitance
Capacitors - a basic element of almost every electronic
circuit. So common a component yet comprised of such varied
materials and designed for specific applications. What is the
best way to measure a capacitor? Factors submitted for your
consideration: the material, measurement mode, connection to
device under test, temperature, test frequency and test signal
level.

Hipot Testing of Motors and Safety Standard
Compliance
Hipot testing is a necessary component of safety testing
motors and/or motor subsystems. Specific product compliance
testing is regulated by such standards as UL 1004, "Electric
Motors". Check out this app note for a discussion of
dielectric withstand, maximum/minimum current detection, arc
current detection, insulation resistance and ground bond
measurements.

Line Leakage Measurement & Human Body Equivalent
Circuits
Do you ever wonder why test regulations are so stringent on
electrical medical devices? Simply put because the aim is to
help the patient not harm them. To prevent the possibility of
electrical shock, medical manufacturers test their electronic
devices for line leakage current with a circuit that
represents the impedance of the human body.
