Measuring the Equivalent Series Resistance of the Low Impedance Electrolytic Capacitors in Pulsed Current State

Article Preview

Abstract:

A cost-effective method for quickly evaluating the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of electrolytic capacitors is proposed. This approach has the ability to measure the low ESR of milliohms level, meanwhile provide the pulsed testing current up to hundreds of amperes. Therefore, this method is suitable for fast inspecting the quality of bulk capacitors. The operational principle, circuit implementation and the calibration method are presented, and the performances of the prototype are tested, which validate the proposed scheme.
