Re: Rolled PE Caps
I happened to have some (14"*~30') of flashing, so I
used it, but I had this question:
If the plate conductor is very thick, say 50 mils
(.05") wouldn't it seperate the PE-rolls further,
increasing the capacitance (with Dial-Ax)?
I ask since the thickness of the PE-stack is needed to
find the capacitance, and it affects the capacitance
kindof alot.
Chris.
Also, here is a link to calculate capacitance and the
like, its java:
