Thank you so much! So many videos teach the tecnical aspects of reading the capacitor, but I couldn't find a video to tell me what setting to use when MFD was not an option.
You need to tell people to discharge the capacitor before they handle it. Not everyone knows how dangerous they are. If someone who doesn't have that info watched this video they could get seriously hurt thinking you can just lay your fingers on top of the capacitor like you did here.
Thank you! Never pat your capacitor. My Dad used to power down Microwave capacitors. The sound of powering them down was terrifying to me as a little kid. Use an old ball peen hammer with a wooden handle to arch across them and power them down.
What does it mean if meter reads OL when on the right function. I am reading nF on one of my capacitor and it looks good. But on y other capacitor I can't get a reading the meter indicatesOL - its an AMES meter
Why is there no standard for the format of the numbers listed on a capacitor? I have a capacitor that looks exactly like that, but the numbering on it is not in that format at all.
I don't think you can use the mm300 to do that. I was thinking about buying the kit that comes with the mm300, but according to what I've found, it seems that basic model can't be used for that... Have you found a definite answer to your question or a way to do it?
I have the Klein MM1000. Does anyone know if you can test a capacitor with it? I did everything that was mentioned in the video and while pressing the select button, I do not get the nf symbol as mentioned in the video. Although I do get all the other symbols. is there something wrong with my multi meter?

Yeah the guy in video is cringe
It can also damage the meter. I also cringed when he touched the terminals with his hands.

@@gnawniev3753 You should find someone else who will pat your capacitor, so you don't have to.
A screwdriver works well @@gnawniev3753

Would help if he had told us what klein tool he was using to measure capacitance!
Perfect example! I thank you very much.

Great video, easy test
Just got MM300, not seeing the capacitor sign. Is there one?

Thanks You meger working eficiens
Step 1 be sure to discharge the capacitor first. "Carefully ".
My klien multi tester MM200 model can not read capacitance
Creative video, thank you for sharing, like it :)
What unit model # are you using?
Think it says MM8000 but I don't see that model on your website.
@@plumber77mjr its a mm6000

That's because your model has it by itself in the middle of temperature and hertz/ duty
Be sure to pet the terminals of a capacitor like that too. 😂
I have the same multimiter and it doesn't display that funtion, somebody knows why?
