What is BS 5786-1 - Test method for Variable capacitors about?
BS 5786-1 is the first part of a multi-series standard used for Variable capacitors that specifies the test method for these capacitors. This helps in manufacturing good quality Variable capacitors used in electronic devices.
BS 5786-1 relates to variable capacitors intended for use in electronic equipment and gives the terms and methods of test which may be applied.
The capacitors are divided according to their type (function), dielectric, style, and application as defined in Sub-clauses 3.8, 3.9 and 3.10. Separate “Type specifications” will give the specific test and requirements which are applicable to each type and grade of capacitor and detailed specifications for a particular range of capacitors will be prepared in accordance with the relevant “Type specification”.
Who is BS 5786-1 - Test method for Variable capacitors for?
BS 5786-1 on Variable capacitors is useful for:
- Manufacturer of electronic components
- Manufacturer of automotive parts
- Electronic engineer
Why should you use BS 5786-1 - Test method for Variable capacitors?
A variable capacitor is a capacitor whose capacitance may be intentionally and repeatedly changed mechanically or electronically.
BS 5786-1 specifies the test methods and test procedure for variable capacitors. This test method is as follows:
- Visual examination is useful in identifying the defects and failures in these capacitors
- Useful in determining the capacitance and capacitance drift
- Measures backlash and tangent of loss angel
- Helps in resisting insulation and rotor contact
- Calculates temperature coefficient, operating torque
- Thrust and pull helps in determining the maximum permissible thrust and Maximum permissible pull
- Helps in reducing the corrosion of capacitors
This test method ensures the reliability and sustainability of these capacitors in different climatic conditions. By applying BS 5786-1, you can manufacture good quality Variable capacitors used in electronic devices.
