LCR meter and multimeter are one of the most if not the most important measuring instruments for an electrical engineer. A Multimeter is often the first choice for a hobbyist or a student getting into the industry. Further, with an advanced understanding of the fundamental concepts, instruments such as an LCR meter might come in … Read more
Multimeters and voltmeters may seem the same to any other person but to an electrician or electrical engineer. These two measuring devices are different in many ways. But as their names suggest, a voltmeter measures only voltage. On the other hand, a multimeter can measure more than one electrical parameter, including voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, … Read more
Any electronics circuit designer understands the importance of using the appropriate component in the design. That process begins by measuring the ESR values of different electrical components already in the design. That is where an ESR meter comes in. An Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) meter is a measuring instrument used for the actual capacitance measurements … Read more
Capacitance is the electronic component’s ability to store energy (in the form of an electric charge) that is generated by different voltages. The electronic component that stores energy is called a capacitor. To measure the capacitance of a capacitor, we need an electronic measurement device that is called a capacitor tester or capacitance tester. To … Read more
A transistor tester is an electronic device applied to check the electrical behavior of transistors. This tester will identify the transistor type (BJT, JFET, MOSFET, and IGBT), pin configuration, parameter values, and even polarity. When it comes to transistor tester, this instrument commonly refers to the component tester. It is not only for transistors but … Read more
LRC meters are multi-functional measuring instruments for electrical engineers and technicians. As the name suggests, these instruments can measure inductance (L), capacitance (c), and resistance (R). Clearly, their names originate from what these devices can do. The ability of the LCR meter to measure multiple parameters makes them the best choice. Instead of buying different … Read more
A multimeter is an electrical quantity-measuring device with multiple functions. This device combines voltage, current, and resistance measurements in one compact unit. But, it’s not weird to find them able to measure capacitance, inductance, temperature, humidity, and acidity. Multimeter is not necessarily expensive, there are lots of cheap multimeters out there that you can buy. … Read more
