WARNING: Dangerous voltage and/or current may be present when a
voltage test is being conducted. To reduce risk of serious injury or death from electrical
shock, if you are not trained to safely work with high voltage, do not attempt any of these
procedures. You must seek assistance from qualified personnel.
How to test Capacitors for lights and generators:
●
Important:
Please contact Allmand Brothers to obtain the correct
capacitor & rating. Never use a smaller Uf (Microfarad) or different voltage
rating for Generators.
● Disconnect Both capacitor leads for the light capacitors.
● Using a screwdriver or similar instrument with an insulated handle, short
the capacitor between the terminals to discharge any stored power,
Example “A”.
● Set the Ohms scale on your multimeter to the highest setting
● If the meter shows a low resistance reading which gradually increases, the
capacitor is likely good and does not need to be replaced.
● If the meter shows a very high resistance that remains steady, the
capacitor is open and must be replaced
● If the meter indicates a very low resistance that remains steady, the
capacitor is shorted and must be replaced.
