    Re: Thoughts on this ESR meter

    I don't have any supercapacitors in my spare parts box, but do have 0.3F, 0.22F, and ~100mF capacitors. Also a bunch of ones from 10mF to 56mF; at least the 6.8mF, 10mF, 27mF are within that range.

    These >50mF caps are quite large... they're all on the order of a half liter bottle. I just wonder how long it takes for it to measure capacitance on these big capacitors...

    My portable DMM already takes forever to measure 100uF capacitors, and 0.22F takes a while on my Sencore... annoying...

        I know EVERYONE wants an ESR meter, but I still use my EICO 950B, can test caps for leakage at up to 450 volts! ESR meter can't do that!

            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...

            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 ?

            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...

            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...

            lowest current galvanometer/analog meter (passively powered!)
            by eccerr0r
            Most analog meters are actually current driven - a current is needed to deflect the pointer full scale. They can be lots of different values. There are ones that can take several amperes to swing the pointer as they have internal shunts.

            On the other hand there are many that are rated in microamps for the intent that they draw as little power as possible from the devices under test. Some are 1mA, 500µA, 200µA, 100µA, and the ubiquitous 50µA frequently used in analog VOMs. There are even 20, 25, 30 µA and even down to 10µA. Been collecting a bunch of different ratings and...
