Capacitance meter information


Capacitance meter designed by Harry Garland and Roger Melen.

A capacitance meter is a piece of electronic test equipment used to measure capacitance,[1] 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. For most purposes and in most cases the capacitor must be disconnected from circuit; ESR can usually be measured in circuit.
