    The document describes the De Sauty bridge and its modification by Grover. (1) The De Sauty bridge provides a method to compare capacitor values if dielectric losses are neglected, using a balanced bridge circuit with a standard and unknown capacitor. (2) However, it provides inaccurate results for "imperfect capacitors" with dielectric losses. (3) Grover modified the bridge by adding resistances to arms 1-2 and 4-1 to account for dielectric losses, allowing comparison of imperfect capacitors.

    De Sauty Bridge
    This bridge provide us the most suitable method for comparing the
    two values of capacitor if we neglect dielectric losses in the bridge
    circuit. The circuit of De Sauty's bridge is shown below.

    Battery is applied between terminals marked as 1 and 4.


    The arm 1-2 consists of capacitor c1 (whose value is unknown) which
    carries current i1 as shown, arm 2-4 consists of pure resistor (here pure
    resistor means we assuming it non inductive in nature), arm 3-4 also
    consists of pure resistor and arm 4-1 consists of standard capacitor
    whose value is already known to us.
    Let us derive the expression for capacitor c1 in terms of
    standard capacitor and resistors.
    At balance condition we have,

    It implies that the value of capacitor is given by the expression

    In order to obtain the balance point we must adjust the values of either r3 or r4 without
    disturbing any other element of the bridge. This is the most efficient method of comparing the two values of
    capacitor if all the dielectric losses are neglected from the circuit.
    Now let us draw and study the phasor diagram of this bridge. Phasor
    diagram of De Sauty bridge is shown below:Let us mark
    the current drop across unknown capacitor as e1, voltage drop across the
    resistor r3 be e3, voltage drop across arm 3-4 be e4 and voltage drop
    across arm 4-1 be e2. At balance condition the current flows through 2-4
    path will be zero and also voltage drops e1 and e3 be equal to voltage drops e2 and e4 respectively. In order to draw
    the phasor diagram we have taken e3 (or e4) reference axis, e1 and e2 are shown at right angle to e1(or e2). Why they
    are at right angle to each other? Answer to this question is very simple as capacitor is connected there, therefore
    phase difference angle obtained is 90o.
    Now instead of some advantages like bridge is quite simple and
    provides easy calculations, there are some disadvantages of this bridge
    because this bridge give inaccurate results for imperfect capacitor
    (here imperfect means capacitors which not free from dielectric
    losses). Hence we can use this bridge only for comparing perfect
    capacitors.
    Here we interested in modify the De Sauty's bridge, we want to have
    such a kind of bridge that will gives us accurate results for imperfect
    capacitors also. This modification is done by Grover. The modified
    circuit diagram is shown below:Here Grover has introduced electrical
    resistances r1 and r2 as shown in above on arms 1-2 and 4-1

    respectively, in order to include the dielectric losses. Also he has connected resistances R1 and R2 respectively in
    the arms 1-2 and 4-1. Let us derive the expression capacitor c1 whose value is unknown to us. Again we connected
    standard capacitor on the same arm 1-4 as we have done in De Sauty's bridge. At balance point on equating the
    voltage drops we have:

    On solving above equation we get:

    This the required equation.


    By making the phasor diagram we can calculate dissipation factor.
    Phasor diagram for the above circuit is shown
    belowLet us mark δ1 and δ2 be phase angles of the capacitors c1 and
    c2 capacitors respectively. From the phasor diagram we have tan(δ1)
    = dissipation factor = ωc1r1 and similarly we have tan(δ2) = ωc2r2.
    From equation (1) we have on
    multiplying ω both sides we have

    Therefore

    the final expression for the dissipation factor is written as Hence if


    dissipation factor for one capacitor is known. However this method is gives quite inaccurate results for dissipation
    factor.
