Is there anyway to accurately measure the
capacitance of an electrolytic capacitor in the range of 10uf to 100uf. These capacitors are to be used at frequencies under 1 Hz. Everytime I try to use my meter to measure, the capacitance will change from one range scale to the next, I guess because the frequency changes too. When I use a typical non-electrolytic capacitor these changes in readings are not there. I have been thinking of making a simple RC inverter oscillator and using the resulting frequency to determine the true capacitance in the small signal application I want to apply them to. Maybe there are non-electrolytic capacitors in the 10uf to 100uf range but if so I have never heard of them before. I do not know if any of you have ever seen the SCI FI movie THIS ISLAND EARTH but I am in need of several of those fantastic capacitors. I am trying to get a reading within 1% of reality. Help here is appreciated. -- Regards; gmv |
