capacitor leakage go/no-go test
I have various piles of old caps, many NOS, etc. I'm interested in doing a simple go/no-go type of test for leakage. Have power supplies that can do 0 to 3kV DC. Is it practical to put the cap in

Does any of this musical discussion, interesting (to some) though it is, have anything to do with Test Equipment design? The SNR of the thread has drifted alarmingly. Pete G4GJL wrote:

Re: Two interesting projects
Jeff 1KHz = 2^3 x 5^3 Hz and 440Hz = 2^3 x 5 x 11 Hz so the difference is? 5^2 and 11. This gives rise to x11 then 1/25 to produce 440Hz. That is all you need. The multiplication by 11 from 1 KHz
