Re: Testing Echlin FA49 condenser with capacitor tester
Nobody has talked about the G factor the most important parameter for a capacitor. This is the internal resistance of the capacitor. The industry uses different methods to measure this value. The G value is either the series or parallel resistance at an established frequency 36fordguy

Re: Testing Echlin FA49 condenser with capacitor tester
Capacity, leakage, and resistance are the normal tests for most caps. I haven't heard the term G factor in relation to resistance but I wasn't trained to test all types of capacitors either. It seems like it is the quality of a capacitor at operating frequency or is that Q factor. I forget a lot of the electronics training I've had. Been too many years.

I have the Perry Davis Ignition -Coil and- Condensor Tester you recommend. I can test Condensor fine. However, would it be possible to test a Coil on the bench with this unit? If so, would you let me know how it would be done! Thanks very much. Bob |
