Is there any equipment to measure dv/dt of capacitor?

I just remembered the test procedure... the dv/dt rating has been exceeded when the case bulges ;-)

As it often does on PC monitor flyback tuning caps - especially the square cased blue Philips ones!

Imagine going through all that discomfort just to get the bus to yourself! Personally I find it much less effort to let a really putrid decomposing flesh fart, and then sit there and watch as all the other passengers jam the door trying to pile out at the next stop.

This is a torture test where the outcome can be determined using a capacitance meter. As you vaporize the metalization during the torture test, you can measure the decrease in capacitance. I once saw production substitute a wimpy poly cap for the pulse rated cap they were supposed to use in a pulse power amplifier tuning network. After a day of operation, the caps would open. That was fun.

Wow!!!

From your "Opti-Visor Monster" post on abse it looks like your dv/dt
rating has been exceeded big-time! ;)

Hey, you haven't smelled me so you're not worth an opinion.

No, surely not.

Oh, that must have been some rip off design not specified by Philips where someone tried to save pennies and didn't read the data sheet.....

Are you saying BC components have stuffed up the QC under orders from Vishay?

Oooooo, That might be a new experience.

Can I borrow yours when you're finished with it?

And here I thought it was when the lead wires vaporized ;-)

Isn't that just capacitance? I thought I remembered something like

C = I * dv/dt or something.

Good Luck! Rich
