Figure 20 shows a three terminal TISP with its equivalent “delta” capacitance. Each capacitance, C

If wire R is biased at a larger potential than wire T then C > C . Capacitance C is equivalent to a

capacitance of C in parallel with the capacitive difference of (C - C ). The line capacitive unbalance is

due to (C - C ) and the capacitance shunting the line is C + C /2 .

All capacitance measurements in this data sheet are three terminal guarded to allow the designer to
accurately assess capacitive unbalance effects. Simple two terminal capacitance meters (unguarded third
terminal) give false readings as the shunt capacitance via the third terminal is included.
