A key parameter of capacitors is their dielectric absorption (DA). If you want to estimate the capacitor’s quality or recognize its type of dielectric you can simply measure its DA. This simple ...

This application note is about switcher dielectric testing for fully assembled power modules. The document provides a precautionary guideline when testing fully assembled units to avoid failure in ...

In our previous issue, we described time-resistance and dielectric absorption ratio tests. Two other useful insulation resistance tests are the short time and step voltage tests In our previous issue, ...

Before we debate the relevancy of Dielectric Absorption relating to speaker cables, and commonly perpetuated by many exotic cable vendors and cable cult hobbyists ...

Insulated digger derricks and aerial devices protect users and ground personnel who work around energized power lines. Following established work procedures – as is testing and maintaining the ...
