225 volts every time
| Condenser | Packing | Reading | diff | Cap. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | .0166 | .0271 | .0105 | .180 |
| B | .0166 | .0256 | .009 | .155 |
| C | .0166 | .0300 | .0134 | .230 |

The above are the three condensers in cases & complete ready for fitting to Cars.

225 volts gives .0166 amp.
Susceptance = .0166 / 225 = 73.8 micromhos
K = 73.8 / 262 = .281 m f
Constant for multiplying readings
= .281 / .0166 = 17.0 approx.
