Electrolyte capacitor in circuit simulators like TINA and nl5?

AI Thread Summary
To simulate an electrolyte capacitor in circuit simulators like TINA and nl5, users can typically utilize standard capacitor models for DC or low-frequency applications. For high-frequency signals and large capacitance values, it's advisable to refine the model by adding a large shunt resistor to represent leakage and a small series inductance. Some manufacturers provide SPICE models for their components, although availability for specific simulators may vary. The accuracy of the simulation depends on the application requirements. Proper modeling can enhance the fidelity of circuit simulations involving electrolyte capacitors.

how do you get an electrolyte capacitor in circuit simulators like TINA and nl5?

How accurate a simulation do you require? For most DC or low-frequency purposes, any old capacitor model with the appropriate value will do. For large capacitance values with high-frequency signals present, you can further refine the model with a large shunt resistor (to simulate leakage) and a small series inductance. Beyond that, some component manufacturers make SPICE models of their parts available, but I don't know about the two you mention specifically.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
