This paper presents a very simple electronic circuit for direct measurement of loss angle of a leaky capacitor. The circuit used can directly provide loss angle or tan /spl delta/ in terms of a pulse count. The circuit uses very few components, requires no special supply, and is suitable for a large range of capacitor values.
About Photovoltaic Energy StorageNote: (a) The schering bridge is particularly suitable for low capacitance measurement but time bridge is usually supplied from a high frequency/high voltage source. (b) Thus bridge is like Wein bridge. The difference is that here is a R 1 C 1 series circuit while in Wein bridge we use an R 1 L 1 series circuit.
