    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.

    I have the same meter for use at home for about 4 years now and love it to bits its simple to use and build like a tank.

      Does this meter automatically shut off if you forget to turn the dial to the off position?

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

    I use the micro farads for checking capacitors on oil boilers states on the side what they should be and you can compare :)

    I have the previous model 323 it does the job and the clamp is quite handly as 3rd hand, oh and I have dropped it in a bucket of water still working

    I used micofarads the other day on my boat lift motor to test the capacitor while it was running.

      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.

  • @sharpy167
    @sharpy167 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

    • @Tools4Sparks
      @Tools4Sparks  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! How would you use that in actual practise? Do you use the test probes or the clamp?

    • @sharpy167
      @sharpy167 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Probes. Test between the 2 poles of the capacitor the check the result with the size of the cap.

    Hi does it read DC amps below 40amps? Bit confused with the range that is listed on the webpage.
    I've subbed and enjoying atlot of your videos. Great work👍

    • @Tools4Sparks
      @Tools4Sparks  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I think it does but I’ve never actually tried it as I don’t work much with DC

    • @hickfilly6
      @hickfilly6 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

      Ohm's is pronounced the same way as in the video in the uk, maybe other countries have a different pronunciation like "Oregano" Uk or USA spelt the same

      Of all the words to picky about.
      So you are fine with “rooters” & “H8chDMIs”, but the way he says ohms is beyond the pale for you?

    Looks like a nice unit. I have the kewtech KT200. It’s ok. Doesn’t have the min/max setting on amps so will need to get a different unit.
    Do you have or recommend an earth leakage clamp meter? Maybe the next tools4sparks video 🤔
