Capacitance Standards and their Calibration

For the calibration of capacitance- (or LCR) meters, Capacitance Standards with accurately known values for C and D at a given frequency are required. While it is possible to determine these values very precisely at lower frequencies (1kHz is mostly used), this gets harder at higher frequencies due to the increasing impact of parasitic parameters.

6 FAQs about [Capacitor direct calibration readings]

How difficult is it to calibrate capacitors for use as standards?

Selection and calibration of capacitors for use as Standards is a challenging task, especially since the accuracies required, depening on the application, can be very demanding for the test gear as well as for the secondary- and working-standards used.

What is a capacitance calibration meter?

2. Capacitance Calibration The precision measurement of capacitors for the purpose of calibration is generally based on a national primary standard of high accuracy, secondary/working Standards derived from it, and a capacitance- (or LCR-) meter used for the measurement (i.e. calibration) of the devices under test (DUT).

How accurate is a capacitor calibration?

The most accurate capacitor calibrations have an uncertainty of ±25 ppm for capacitance and an un- certainty of ±5xlO~* for dissipation factor. For capacitors with large dissipation factors, the dissi- pation factor uncertainty is generally at least ±1% of the measured value ±5X 10~*.

How to calibrate a val'iable capacitor by step-up methods?

a val'iable capacitor by step-up methods. If the variable air capacitor, X, having a range from 100 to 1,100 pf, is to be calibrated at every 100-pf division mark, it is necessary to have a fixed air capacitor, S, of approximately 100 pf that can be connected in parallel with the variable capacitor under test in a precisely repeatable manner.

How are capacitors measured?

Capacitors are invariably measured by balancing the unknown capacitor against a known standard using some type of bridge arrangement. There are a variety of such bridges described in the literature . The one most used in high-voltage applications in the last 60 years is the Schering bridge (fig. 1).

What is a calibrated I OOO PF air capacitance standard?

A calibrated I,OOO-pf air capacitance standard, S', is needed to relate the results of the step-up test to the national reference standard of capacitance. The bridge used for this step calibration need not have great accuracy but must be stable, for it is used with a sensitive detector for substitution measure ments.
