Abstract

A method for detecting a capacitor loss is applicable to detecting a plurality of by-pass capacitors connected in parallel to each other. The detection method includes the following steps, an alternating current (AC) signal is input into the by-pass capacitors, in which the AC signal has a plurality of test frequencies; test voltages of the by-pass capacitors at each of the test frequencies are recorded, so as to form a test result table; it is determined whether the test result table is the same as a standard voltage table; and when a result of the determination is NO, a fail signal is output. By applying the detection method, whether a loss exists in the by-pass capacitors can be effectively identified, thereby solving the problem that small capacitors are undetectable when large capacitors are connected in parallel to the small capacitors.
