Equivalent Measurement Circuit
SER:
Series equivalent circuit
PAR:
Parallel equivalent circuit
The actual capacitor, resistor and inductor are not the ideal capacitor, resistor and inductor.
Normally, a component has the characteristics of the resister and the reactor at the same
time. The actual component is composed of an ideal resistor and a reactor (ideal inductor or
capacitor) in series or parallel equivalent circuits.
The value in the two different equivalent circuits can be converted to each other using the
following formulas in Table 6-1. The values of L and C in two different equivalent circuits are
different due to the quality factor Q (or the dissipation factor D). But D and Q always have
the same value in both equivalent circuit modes.
