I know this question has been answered already but, yes micro farads are used for testing capacitance. This meter is a really good model for HVAC/R work because you can test resistance, voltage, temperatures, amp draw, and capacitance all with one meter. Very important to have one of these in the tool bag with how versatile it is.

Capacitors failing are quite common on older circuit boards, the micro farad check would tell you if a capacitor swop out is needed.

I don't think you did. You can't test a changed capacitor. Have to be discharged and not connected to a supply. You can calculate the capacitance if you know the voltage, current, and frequency. But that's going to need some maths.

Use the UF function a fair bit to test capacitors on motors. Good video, thanks

The farads scale is for checking capacitors out. ie if a single phase motor isn’t working, just humming. It’s likely that the start cap is gone.
@Tools4Sparks4 жыл бұрын
Thanks! How would you use that in actual practise? Do you use the test probes or the clamp?
@sharpy1674 жыл бұрын
Probes. Test between the 2 poles of the capacitor the check the result with the size of the cap.

Yeah its a little confusing how they lay it out. Up to 40A DC it will show up to two decimal places. Up to 400A it will show to one decimal place.
