THe Filter capacitor value depnds on the maximum current I of the Power supply , Switching frequency and the permissible ripple

C= (I * (1/2f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a full wave rectifier

C= (I * (1/f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a Half wave rectifier

Where

C= Capcitance in Farads

I = Current in Amps

f = Switching Frequency

V = Nominal voltage in this case 12 V

Why in hay bridge capacitor is used in series where in maxwell inductance capacitance bridge capacitor is used in parallel?

In the Hay bridge, the capacitor is placed in series to improve the sensitivity of the measurement, allowing for a more accurate determination of capacitance by minimizing errors from stray capacitance. Conversely, in the Maxwell inductance-capacitance bridge, the capacitor is used in parallel to facilitate the comparison of inductance and capacitance directly, enabling a more straightforward calculation of circuit parameters. The differing configurations serve the specific needs of the measurement techniques employed in each bridge design.


What kind of supply is given to schering's bridge?

schering's bridge is used to measure capacitance and dissipation factor of a capacitor. AC voltage is given to the terminals of bridge and bridge is balanced by varying resistance and capacitance in the opposite arm.


What is the application of schering bridge?

to measure unknown capacitance


What do you mean by high voltage schering bridge?

A high voltage Schering bridge is an electrical testing device used to measure the capacitance and power factor of insulating materials and cables at elevated voltages. It operates on the principle of balancing the bridge circuit, allowing for precise measurements by comparing an unknown capacitor to a standard capacitor. This type of bridge is particularly useful for assessing the dielectric properties of insulation under high voltage conditions, ensuring that materials can withstand operational stress. It is commonly employed in electrical utilities and research to evaluate the integrity of high-voltage equipment.


What is the reason of the frequency limitation in bridge?

A bridge has an upper frequency limit because above that frequency the measuement accuracy fails because of stray capacitance and inductance inside the bridge device.

How can I check a capacitor on an AC unit?

To check a capacitor on an AC unit, you can use a multimeter set to the capacitance setting. First, make sure the power to the unit is turned off. Then, discharge the capacitor by using an insulated screwdriver to bridge the terminals. Next, remove the capacitor and use the multimeter to measure the capacitance. If the reading is significantly lower than the labeled capacitance, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.


How do you measure capacitor's value?

The equation of a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c. The capacitor resists a change in voltage, inversely proportional to its capacitance. One way to measure capacitance is to plot voltage and current through a resistor following a voltage step change. The slope at any point will give you the answer. Another way is to measure the resonant frequency in circuit with an inductor. Another way is with a Maxwell bridge. See "How do you draw the vector diagram of maxwell's capacitance bridge?"


How do you draw the vector diagram of maxwell's capacitance bridge?

The Maxwell bridge measures capacitance or inductance by balancing the unknown capacitor or inductor against known inductors or capacitors, with known resistors. In order to balance a bridge, there must be zero voltage across it. As a result, the vector for the capacitance leg must be exactly 180 degrees opposite, and of equal length, to the vector for the inductance leg.
