The 6430B and 6440B deliver fast automatic testing of Capacitors in a production environment. The user is able to select measurements from any of the instruments range and perform up to 8 different tests on each component. Tolerance bins can be selected for each of the tests. The instrument selects the overall bin after completing all the tests. The measured results can be output over the GPIB or to a printer.

The test sequence is triggered by external input, GPIB or front panel. Once the test sequence is complete the bin is selected and the measured data is made available on the GPIB. This process takes place at very high speed allowing a dual frequency test to be completed in approximately 180mS.

Pass/Fail data in statistical form is available to the user and can be viewed on the LCD display, printed to a local printer or exported over the GPIB.

Protection Against Charged Capacitors

High precision measuring instruments can be sensitive to charged capacitors and if connected can lead to costly repairs and unacceptable downtime. Wayne Kerr Electronics have identified this problem and developed a solution that protects the test equipment from charged capacitors. In this event, the protection unit blows a fuse, which can be easily and cheaply replaced, whilst the test equipment remains unharmed and continues to provide reliable accurate performance. The protection unit will protect the test equipment from up to 25 Joules of charged energy.
