Capacitance Meter

A capacitance meter is a piece of electronic test equipment used to measure capacitance, mainly of discrete capacitors. Depending on the sophistication of the meter, it may display the capacitance only, or it may also measure a number of other parameters such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and inductance.

Specifications:

  • Digit Display : digital
  • Low Battery Indication : Yes
  • Accuracy : 0.5
  • Capacitance Range (F) : 1nF to 2000 uF in different ranges
  • Test Frequency : 1000 Hz, 100 Hz

Capacitance Meter Uses:

  • A capacitance meter is used for measuring the capacitance of a capacitor. It measures the rate of charge storage and returns the value of capacitance in a digital fashion, usually but not always.
