Hi, hoping someone can tell me what I have done wrong in this setup:
I am measuring a 10000µF capacitor, and I have disconnected the wires to it so it is just the capacitor in being measured...
The ZLCR meter was unable to auto-identify the capacitor so I selected capacitance mode manually, and 100Hz as this is filtering a bridge rectifier.
The meter then shows a value of 9.384rnF
I have no idea what the "r" stands for, and from this reading if we skip the "r" and just look at it as nF it would be very obviously bad.
But my Fluke 28-II shows it as 9810µF and with it out of circuit I have 8VAC of ripple, with it in circuit the ripple is in the millivolts range, so the cap is ok.
What is going on here, is it user error?
