What is ESR? ESR is an abbreviation for Equivalent Series

Resistance, the characteristic representing the sum of resistive (ohmic) losses within a capacitor.

While ESR is undesirable, all capacitors exhibit it to some degree. Capacitor manufacturers look to ways to reduce the ESR of the capacitor…
