Meter measures higher-value capacitors

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jul 10, 2007

Handheld capacitance meter has nine automatically selected ranges with full scale value from 1.0pF to 199.99mF.

The Model 830B capacitance meter from B+K Precision is a compact, handheld, lightweight, battery powered test unit featuring a large 4.5-digit LCD, 11,000 counts resolution and nine automatically selected ranges with full scale value from 1.0pF to 199.99mF.

Designed to meet the latest international safety standards, the Model 830B's dedicated chip and microprocessor allow the user to program high/low limits, or use preprogrammed capacitor tolerances.

Software and cabling are provided for PC based data logging and monitoring via a USB interface.

The PC based data logging capability allows the user to remotely monitor, record, and track problems and significantly improve maintenance performance.

Available for immediate delivery and priced at a low US $289, the Model 830B capacitance meter is the ideal device for measuring values, inspection, sorting capacitors and testing capacitors against standard tolerances.

The Model 830B capacitance meter's large 4.5-digit dual LCD can simultaneously display values and deviations from selected tolerances.

The unit can also sort on preset tolerances of 1, 5 and 10%.

The built-in chip and microprocessor allows the user to program unique values to sort specific circuit applications.
