  • coupling: Smaller sets used a different system, called capacitive coupling: the circuit diagram is given below.
  • sensor: Where a high degree of sensitivity is required at low RH, the capacitive sensor is frequently chosen.
  • load: People often don't realize when they have a capacitive load.
  • divider: The control cable capacitance and coil capacitor will act as a capacitive voltage divider.
