    Recommend me an ESR METER 20-30$

    Hello.Im looking to buy an ESR meter to test the capacitors in circuit.
    Im willing to spend about 20-50$. Can someone recommend me a good ESR meter on Ebay or Aliexpress?
    Thanks in advance.

      search a little - you will see that in-circuit testing is not reliable.

          I have been looking through several models but almost all of them are the same, just different cases, thats why I was trying to find a little help here.

          Why testing in circuit is not reliable?

              I find this one interesting, for it's 100KHz testing frequency.
              But I don't own one and I don't think I've seen one on Badcaps before either.
              As STJ said, testing in circuit is iffy at best, takes allot of prior knowledge for the specific board under test.

                  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...

                  anyone recommend an earth leakage clamp meter ?
                  by petehall347
                  have been looking at earth leakage clamp meters and its like a minefield out there . i wondered if anyone here had bought one that actually works properly ?...

                  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...
