ABSTRACT:
A digital kick meter measures capacitive kick between two conductors and ground of a cable. The digital kick meter includes a resistance measuring circuit connectable to two of the conductors to provide a signal indicative of a capacitance between the two conductors. A filter is coupled to the resistance measuring circuit to filter a signal provided by the resistance measuring circuit, thereby producing a kick signal. Processing circuitry is coupled to the filter, and a graphical user interface (GUI) is coupled to the processing circuitry to display data related to the kick signal. The GUI may include an active bar graph dynamically displaying the kick signal on a graduated scale and retaining a peak value of the kick signal on the graduated scale.
