Problems

(1) On-site measurement of capacitors requires removing connecting wires, which is not only labor-intensive but also prone to damaging the capacitors;



(2) The low output voltage of the capacitance meter leads to a low fault detection rate.



(3) Measure the inductance of reactors.



(4) The capacitance and inductance tester features small measurement workload, quick and simple operation, stable performance, accurate measurement, and high fault detection rate.



In addition, its current measurement unit can also be used for measuring electrical equipment such as CVTs and arresters, providing multi-functional capability in one device.



2 Features

◆ The capacitance and inductance tester features small measurement workload, quick and simple operation, stable performance, accurate measurement, and high fault detection rate.



◆ The capacitance and inductance tester adopts a bridge circuit structure, with the standard capacitor and the tested capacitor as two arms of the bridge circuit. When measuring the capacitance value, the test voltage is simultaneously applied to the standard capacitor and the tested capacitor. The processor collects the current signals flowing through both via sensors and processes them to obtain the capacitance value of the tested capacitor.



◆ Since the capacitance and inductance tester uses synchronous sampling technology for the standard capacitor and the tested capacitor, it is not affected by power supply voltage fluctuations; moreover, the measurement process is fully automatic, avoiding errors caused by manual operation.

Working Principle



The fully automatic capacitance and inductance tester adopts a bridge circuit structure, with the standard capacitor and the tested capacitor as two arms of the bridge circuit. When measuring the capacitance value, the test switch K is closed, and the test voltage is simultaneously applied to the standard capacitor and the tested capacitor.
