Capacitor Bank Calculator

Series and Parallel Capacitance

This calculator finds equivalent capacitance for two or three capacitors connected in series or parallel.

Method: Parallel capacitance is added directly. Series capacitance is found by adding reciprocals and taking the reciprocal.

Understanding Capacitor Banks

1. What This Calculator Measures

Capacitors combine differently depending on whether they are wired in series or parallel.

2. How the Calculation Works

The calculator adds capacitance directly for parallel connections and uses reciprocal addition for series connections.

3. Formula or Rule Used

parallel Ct = C1 + C2; series 1 / Ct = 1 / C1 + 1 / C2.
