    Atlas LCR40 and DCA55

    Hey I just snagged an atlas lcr40 and dca55 meter on ebay. Been eyeing the lcr40 as a good capacitance meter for awhile but then I saw a listing on ebay for both for only about 140$ (which is usually the cost of only one of these meters :O) There was a bidding that started at 99$, but I didn't want to risk someone else just buying it now.

    Two more tools to add to my collection I already have the atlas ESR70 and it still works great, best tool ever! Only downside is that it isn't able to measure lower capacitance. As for the DCA55 semiconductor analyzer. Not sure on how to use that yet. I'm still trying to figure out the exact workings of transistors.

      Nice find. I have the 55, really like it.

          EDMI ATLAS MK10 Electronic Meter Discussion
          by Stephan Mathers
          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...

          Modification of a Fluke multi meter that uses three AA batteries to use a 14500 lithium ion battery
          by sam_sam_sam
          I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

          I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

          Changing the scale of an analog meter
          by jorpec
          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 ?

          Thnaks

          How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses
          by sam_sam_sam
          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

          Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...

          Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
          by chth96
          I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

          "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
          Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
          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."

          Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...
