On the newsgroups they call someone like him who only posts stuff to intentionally get people annoyed a TROLL. I've often wondered why the moderators haven't done something about him already.

      Do i need this digital toys?
      A simple analog ESR meter does too.

        Well i only did it because i want to learn. If i really needed a meter i would have bought one. Besides, the reason progress has been slow is that uni is *very* crammed atm, there's lots of stuff to do, exams coming soon and so on.

              So it not only uses the wrong frequency it's lowest measurement is 5 times what it is for for an 'oh so expensive' $70-$80 digital meter.

                Manufacturers state on their datasheets ESR is measured at 100 Khz it seems to be the standard.

                  For most caps Yes.
                  Caps intended for AC side are usually done at 100 or 120 Hz. [No k.]

                    100 or120Hz-this is already sclerosis
                    Reactance of the capacitance at a frequency of 50-100kHz is0.

                                          If the ESR capacitor will increase by 10 times,it is possible to measure the analog meter.

                                            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."

                                            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...

                                            Changing the scale of an analog 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 ?

                                            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...

                                            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...
