Abstract

A capacitance meter including an AC source providing a measurement voltage with a measurement frequency to a capacitor. A current sensor is arranged to measure a current going to or from the capacitance meter. A voltage sensor is arranged to measure a voltage over the capacitor. A capacitance calculation unit is arranged to calculate, using a controller, a capacitance of the capacitor using a measured current from the current sensor, a measured voltage from the voltage sensor and the measurement frequency. The capacitance meter is arranged to obtain measurements using the current sensor and the voltage sensor during a measurement duration. The measurement frequency and the measurement duration are selected such that the measurement duration equals a multiple of the period of the measurement frequency, and the measurement duration equals a multiple of the period of a mains electricity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a capacitance meter, a method, a computer program and a computer program product for improved capacitance measurement. Background technique [0002] Since the inception of capacitors, it has been necessary to measure the main quantity of capacitors, namely capacitance. [0003] One known way of measuring capacitance is to connect an alternating current to the capacitor and observe the voltage. [0004] Since alternating current is used, the current may be influenced by the mains current near the capacitor, the capacitance meter, or the cable connecting the two. It is known to select a frequency for alternating current that is not a multiple of 50 Hz or 60 Hz of the mains frequency. For example it is known to choose frequencies such as 111 Hz and 222 Hz to reduce any influence of the fundamental frequency and harmonics of the mains current. However, this strategy still allows significant interference from the mains cu...
