Hello all you Creationari_istos!
The wheather here now is much better to create things!
What is your experience with ESR meters?
Are they any good?
They sound to good to be true
So, you can only use them on discharged caps.
When does the voltage rating come into play, is that just a thing to get the right result?
I saw the famous Blue ESR Meter by Anatek, it is stated to measure up to 450 Volts.
Then there is the MESR-100, I don't know what the max rating is of that one.
Is it a problem if it "stops at 250 V"?
The "Blue" seems to be not so good available anymore.
I don't like Amazon but paying $50 shipping when ordering direct is a bit too steep for me.
Neither have reference charts that go above 250 Volts.
So someone suggested to measure a good cap and keep that figure for reference.
Another someone created a frint end to use with a normal multimeter.
The big advantage is the protection circuit if you measure a cap that is still charged by mistake.
What do you use?
