    Re: Which ESR Meter - On a budget

    The BlueESR would be the most trustworthy of the three.

    But talk to RusMike here on this forum and see if he can sell you the ESRMicro at a good price.

    The official page is here, but in russian (there's english manual link at the bottom) : http://www.radiodevices.ru/esr/esr4.htm

      Thanks for replying. What makes the blue one better? I have no clue about what makes an ESR meter better/reliable

        Re: Which ESR Meter - On a budget

        It's a tested design, with history, made by a guy that knows what he's doing, tried and used by lots of people.

        The other two are clones, might be good, might be bad, few people bought and reviewed them so I and other people can't guarantee they work well.

        I personally own the ESRMicro and I like it, it works well, other people on this forum have that ESRMicro and RusMike is quite helpful so I have no problems recommending his meter.
        I bought it for around 50$ but I don't know how much it would be for you, i bought mine months ago.

                The perfect ESR meter it should have a complete frequency range 100Hz-100 KHz, and high resolution at the minimum of 2.000 counts for the ESR measurements.

                On a budget ?
                The ESR or LCR meters are tools that makes money for you.

                          I built the meter featured on this http://electronics-diy.com/esr-meter.php page and although ive not had the opportunity to compare it to any other meter hands-on it seems to do a decent job and it was quite cheap to source parts for.

                            Poor LCD resolution regarding ESR.

                              I've seen the ESR pictures. It shows it has 0.01 measurement resolution; this is fine.

                                    I've seen these on eBay. All shipped from china. Anyone experience any problems by this? I've read feedback of sellers and a lot of US customers claim they never received them.

                                          It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

                                          Hi

                                          I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
                                          I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

                                          About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

                                          Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

                                          Greetings, new guy here but always interested in the crazy universe of modding

                                          We just finished construction of around 25 vacation houses, all inside the same private area.
                                          Each house has 3phase power , and we bought an atlas MK10 meter for each house (25 meters total ! )

                                          The metering on a per-house basis is done privately. Its not done by a utility company. The utility company will only charge us for the total consumption of all 25 houses together.

                                          Id like to do a small modification on the firmware of our MK10 to make it easier identify each house's...
