The capacitor meter presented here can measure capacities between 100pF and 1uF on five areas of measurement, more we can say multimeter or tester. Circuit consists of an oscillator with variable ...

Powered by a 9V battery or an optional ac wall adapter, the Model 881 handheld tester can be used to measure the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of electrolytic capacitors in or out of circuit. The ...

Most circuits use bypass capacitors and can deliver substandard performance if the capacitors have poor pulse characteristics. Few if any articles cover how to test bypass capacitors for pulse ...

The transformer and capacitor tester, developed by Hastings, a global supplier of hot line tools and equipment, ensures the safety of hotline workers so that they can perform their jobs with ...

Guest columnist Dale Cigoy, lead applications engineer at Keithley Instruments, outlines how an understanding of the challenges for testing capacitors can be invaluable to engineers. Capacitors are ...
