The most effective method to READ CAPACITORS

To test the capacitor with a multimeter, set the meter to peruse in the high ohms extend, some place over 10k and 1m ohms. Contact the meter prompts the comparing leads on the capacitor, red to positive and dark to negative. The meter should begin at zero and after that pushing gradually toward endlessness. This implies the capacitor is in working condition. In the event that the meter remains at zero, the capacitor isn't charging through the battery of the meter, which means it isn't working.

This will likewise work with SMD tops. Same test with the needle of the multimeter moving gradually a similar way.


One more test that one can do on a capacitor is a voltage test. We realize that capacitors store a potential contrast of charges over their plate, those are voltages. A capacitor has an anode which has a positive voltage and a cathode which has a negative voltage. One approach to check if a capacitor is working is to accuse it up of a voltage and afterward read the voltage over the anode and cathode. For this it is important to accuse the capacitor of voltage, and to apply a DC voltage to the capacitor leads. For this situation extremity is vital. On the off chance that this capacitor has a positive and negative lead, it is an energized capacitors (electrolytic capacitors). Positive voltage will go to the anode, and negative goes to the cathode of the capacitor. Make sure to check the markings on the capacitor to be tried. At that point apply a voltage, which ought to be not as much as the voltage the capacitor is appraised for, for a couple of moments. In this case the 160V capacitor will be accused of a 9V DC
