Auto-tester Capacitor(6 Month Diploma)

Auto-tester Capacitor

Auto-tester: The Auto-tester programs the auto testing machine for
segregating defective capacitors from passed ones.
Brief Job Description: The individual at work is responsible for testing the
capacitor using automated testing machine for electrical, tan-delta and
capacitance as per machine specifications.
Personal Attributes: The job requires the individual to have: attention to
details, and ability to work for long hours.

Test capacitor using auto tester

This unit/task covers the following:

 Undertake preventive maintenance of the machine
 Achieve productivity and quality of standards

Performance Criteria

To be competent, the user/individual on the job must be able to:
collect the wound capacitor
record the number received and lot details
coordinate with supervisor to understand the day’s target
read job sheet to know the specifications for the lot received, work
instruction notes and work manuals
ensure capacitors match the purchase order

check setting of the auto tester, e.g., voltage and current
select program for the specific capacitor lot
load the film capacitor on the wheel
run the tests, e.g., electrical (short or open), tan-d, capacitance
segregate passed from failed capacitors
stack the tested products for further processing
record test status
compare test results to specifications against sample
mark the tested products based on acceptance or rejection
discuss test results to suggest recurring faults and corrective actions

ensure that auto-tester is cleaned periodically as per manufacturer’s
instructions

rectify and rework on malfunctioning equipment

achieve 100% target number of capacitors to be tested
ensure 100% quality guarantee
