To measure the capacity and the internal resistance accurate, the measure frequency must be chosen so that the reactance and resistance are approximately the same. The phase difference between the capacitor voltage and the voltage cross the reactance is than circa 45 °. This means that the measure frequency must be very high in some cases, tens to hundreds megahertz. …
the capacitance of each Cp is equal to n times the excitation capacitance Cex (Cp = n.Cex). The waveform and amplitude of the initial excitation current during the starting-up process are determined by the initial voltage, the exc
Another way to measure the capacitance is to include the unknown capacitor in a resonance circuit. The accuracy is directly dependent on the used reference inductor. Inductors with a small tolerance are rare and expensive. Fig. 11: Resonance method measuring arrangement for capacitors.
To measure the internal resistance accurate the channel 2 probe must be placed as close as possible at the capacitor. The resistor Rs must have approximately the same value as the impedance of the capacitor. De first method describes the measurement of small capacitors whereof the series resistance is negligible. Fig. 5: Mathematical model.
The power consumption is around 68mW. The dynamic range is 40 dB. Overall, the dual/multi-slope capacitance measurement circuits provide very high immunity to stray capacitances thanks to the virtual ground in the integrator and low impedance of the excitation signal interface.
The second method describes a measurement that is suitable for measuring on larger capacities and can also determine the internal series resistance (ESR). This method is thus mainly suitable for measuring on electrolytic capacitors. Figure 8 shows the mathematical model with the associated vector diagram in figure 9.
The resonance methods calculate the capacitance information from the resonance frequency of the circuit, e. g. by sweeping the frequency of the input voltage until the current is at the maximum. This method has a medium to low tolerance for stray capacitances and is very sensitive to conductance losses.
