Ted L in NZ jumping in.
If anybody has a successful method of measuring loss angle of caps directly
with sig gen , counter and CRO. I'm not too sure how to measure a small loss
angle.

Suspect calorific methods at medium current thru the cap would be a
possibility too. Messy and tricky however

Tnx
