Schering Bridge
Schering Bridge is widely used for capacitance & dissipation factor measurements.In fact
Schering bridge is one of the most important of the a.c. bridges. It is extensively used in
the measurement of capacitance in general , and in particular in the measurement of the
properties of insulators, capacitor bushings, insulating oil and other insulating materials.
This bridge is particularly suitable for small capacitance.
Objective :- With the help of this bridge value of unknown capacitor can be found out.
The connection is shown below.

Cx= capacitor whose capacitance is to be determined,
rx ~a series resistance representing the loss in the capacitor Cx
RI =a variable non-inductive resistance in parallel with a capacitor C1
