| Abstract: | Conclusions The above disc capacitor can be used for various purposes as a reference single-valued effective capacitance, or as a many-valued capacitance set at will to any value within its range, for testing or research purposes.The KVCh-8M capacitors are particularly convenient for determining the frequency characteristic of effective capacitances of other capacitors by the substitution method. In this method the measured capacitor is replaced at the high frequency by the KVCh-8M capacitor, which is set to the appropriate value by adjusting the distance between its plates.The preliminary adjustment is made with the capacitor screen removed, and the final adjustment through the opening in the screen.The actual capacitance of the disc trimmer is then calculated from (4) having measured its capacitance on a low-frequency bridge. Such a method of checking capacitors is very simple, since it does not require any accurate high-frequency capacity measuring devices. It is quite sufficient to have any type of Q-meter. |
