The digital multimeter are
of different types but the one I recommend and used myself for capacitance
reading is as shown below.
How I make the readings
Notice the position of the probe.the
positive probe removed and positioned as seen and on the meter you range it to the capacitive range(marked F) as shown
The only disadvantage of this meter is that it only reads up to 200uf any value higher than this is unreadable it only gives value of 1.but I specially have a method i use to measure value higher than 200uf but i will write-about that later.
alternatively,
1000000pf=1uf.
since the value of my cap is
1uf.to check if this cap is good i range my meter to 2uf or 20uf. i range mine
to 20uf and from the picture you can see that my reading is 0.95 which is
approximately 1uf.
this means this cap is in good condition.you can also same method for other type of capacitors.Hope this little tutorial helps.if you have any question you can ask using the comment box.
