Circuit equivalent for fitting my data

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on challenges in finding an equivalent circuit for impedance spectroscopy data, particularly at low frequencies where the data values drop while the circuit fit increases. The user has identified that the real part of impedance (Z') needs to reflect a decrease in resistance at low frequencies. Suggestions are sought for circuit elements that exhibit decreasing reactance with lower frequencies. The presence of a dip in Z'' indicates a potential resonant circuit that may need to be considered in the analysis. The goal is to adjust the equivalent circuit to accurately represent the observed data trends.

TL;DR Summary
Impedancy Spectroscopy
I did a few experiments recently of impedance spectroscopy, and I've gathered some data that i'm having some issues to find an equivalent circuit that can fit the data.

The equivalent circuit that I've got, it's pretty similar with the data (graph and circuit below)

But the problem is, at low frequencies, my data values drop, while the fit from the circuit keeps going up.

Z' represents the real part from the impedance, so basically I need to my equivalent circuit to drop the resistance at low frequencies.

What circuit element, or what I could do, so that I could find an equivalent circuit to my data?

Can you think of a component whose reactance (impedance) goes down as the frequency goes down?
 
The dip in Z'' suggests there is a resonant circuit somewhere.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
