how do i use the Capacitance on this meter with that attachment, it hooks up to the meter and has a little ball on the end up it. how do i use that?

Re: How do i use the Capacitance on this meter
The item you think is for capacitor is a K type thermocouple for measuring temperature the meter is a millimeter it can be used to give you a rough idea of a limited range of measurement you should have instructions with it so as to know how it works. -
Re: How do i use the Capacitance on this meter
You need to introduce the capacitor pins in the two rectangular sockets, just above the 20 Amp yellow round socket and , of course, put the scale switch in F ( Farad ) ...

Re: How do i use the Capacitance on this meter
Don't forget to discharge the capacitor first, especially if it is large value\used for high voltage.
Depending on what you use it for, I'm not sure how much good that meter's capacitance measurement feature is going to be, though. If the range selector is anything to go by, it can only measure up to 20uF.
For low value capacitors like ceramics etc that would be OK but in PSUs and Motherboards etc most capacitors are usually 470uF - 4700uF."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

Re: How do i use the Capacitance on this meter
It's handy to have one though, without it you have no idea if a capacitor is correct or not. Same with an ESR meter."Tantalum for the brave, Solid Aluminium for the wise, Wet Electrolytic for the adventurous"

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... -
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
Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the āEā stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer... -
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... -
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...05-20-2025, 09:09 AM
