Capacitance: If the ohm meter initially shows a low resistance and gradually increases until it stabilizes, it indicates that the capacitor is charging and discharging, confirming its capacitance. 5. Determine the Capacitor Value If the ohm meter indicates capacitance, you can estimate the capacitor''s value based on the time it takes …
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageGenerally, a voltage transformer for small capacity (<1.7Mvar) capacitor bank discharge is sufficient, and a large capacity capacitor bank ( ≥1.7Mvar) Discharge coil must be used, otherwise it will cause the voltage transformer to …
