This unit

The GenRad 1633A Automatic Capacitance Bridge is a precision instrument engineered for rapid and accurate measurement of capacitance, dissipation factor (D), and conductance. Featuring automatic balance and range selection, it streamlines component testing processes. Its high accuracy and speed make it suitable for demanding quality control applications and integration into automated test systems.

GenRad 1633A — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the GenRad 1633A. Calibration covers impedance magnitude accuracy at 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz, and 100 kHz, dissipation factor (D) and quality factor (Q) accuracy, phase angle accuracy, open and short compensation verification, and cable length compensation. HP/Keysight 4284A additionally verified at 1 MHz.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.

Common GenRad 1633A faults: GPIB interface board failure, display failure, guard terminal switch contact wear, oscillator calibration drift on older analog bridges. HP 4284A and 4285A most common faults are HPIB interface board failure and display contrast loss. The internal oscillator and vector measurement circuits are highly stable and rarely fail. Wayne Kerr and GenRad bridge instruments may develop switch contact wear on decade resistance/capacitance dials.
