General Radio 1417 Four-Terminal High Capacitance Standard

The GenRad 1417 Four-Terminal Capacitance Standard consists of a 1 µF standard capacitor and two precise inductive voltage dividers used to scale the value of the 1 µF capacitor up to 1 F in decade steps. This arrangement provides accuracy and stability unattainable with very high-value true capacitors.

• 7  Switch-Selected Standard Capacitance Values: 1 µF , 10 µF , 100 µF , 1 mF , 10 mF ,100 mF , 1 F
• 3 Switch-Selected Test Frequencies: 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz
• 0.25% direct-reading capacitance accuracy
• 0.1% or better ratio accuracy
• Dissipation-factor standard
