CAP- esr value?

[bogart219]

Hello again,
I'm using my dick smith ESR meter to measure a cap. Measured out of circuit. Its a 200volt, 470 u ohm electroylitc. I measure .99 on the meter.
The chart of the front says this:
at 100volts = .05
at 250volts = .3

I'm sort of in between with 200volts. What would you say would be the worst case esr for this cap? Thanks!

200V should be .2ish.

sOlid is right. A good 470 @ 200volts should read between .1 to .2 , but at .99 , that cap is on the way out.
