Default Testing capacitors


"Marky P"


Is it possible to test capacitors reliably without a capacitance
meter?


** No * ONE * test ( or cap tester) will establish that a capacitor is
perfectly OK, however, if a cap fails even one important test - is IS
faulty.

Different types of caps have different electrical characteristics, ie
electros are very different from plastic film or ceramic types - so the
tests you do must suit the type of cap.
