Capacitor Detection
The
LCR40
will tell you that you have a capacitor if the following criteria are
satisfied:
1.
If the measured DC resistance is higher than 10MΩ, even if the
measured capacitance is very low (such as open probes).
or
2.
If the measured DC resistance is between 100kΩ and 10MΩ and
the measured capacitance is larger than 10pF.
or
3.
If the measured DC resistance is between 1kΩ and 100kΩ and the
measured capacitance is larger than 100nF.
Resistor Detection
Measured characteristics that do not satisfy any of the above criteria (for
inductors or capacitors) will be displayed as a resistive element.
