17.6 Capacitance
The capacitance of a capacitor can be measured using the
Capacitance
function of the meter. The
meter applies a small voltage to the capacitor and measure the time it takes for the capacitor to charge
up to the applied voltage. From this measurement, the meter calculates the capacitance of the capacitor.
The capacitance measurement is useful for verifying the values of capacitors in electronic circuits and
testing the health of capacitors.
To measure capacitance:
Step 1.
Press the
key.
Step 2.
Press the
softkey to view the available metering option.
• Use the
to select
"Cap."
.
Step 3.
Disconnect the capacitor from the circuit and discharge it.
Step 4.
Connect the capacitor to the meter input.
