Electrolytic Capacitor Measurement For High Capacitance4263BThe 4263B's measurement accuracy and wide measurement range are the right tools to makeprecise measurements of electrolytic capacitor parameters.Electrolytic capacitors are generally high capacitance, so their impedance is low. The 4263B hasthe 100 m measurement range, and keeps its high measurement accuracy when measuring lowimpedance. For example, the 4263B measures an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, 22,000 F, atthe test frequency of 120 Hz, with about 0.5 % accuracy. You can try this measurement usingthe following procedure.DUTAluminum electrolytic capacitor ( 22,000 F 6 20 % )RequirementsTest Fixture : 16089B Kelvin Clip LeadsMeasurement SetupMeasurement parameterTest frequencyTest signal level: Cs-D1: 120 Hz: 1 Vrms21 For high capacitance measurement, equivalent seriesparameter Cs-D is commonly used.2 Even though LVL:1 Vrms is set, less than 0.5Vrmswhich is maximum appliable volatge for testingelectrolytic capacitors in accordance to JIS standard,will be applied to the Aluminum electrolytic capacitorunder test.Measurement Procedure1.
