I have one of these Peak Electronics ESR meters and it works really well and fast for ESR measurements.
Especially "in circuit" measurements.
Yes.Very good device.I would buy a new version with a higher resolution.

Would you prefer PEAK to U173xC series for trouble-shooting?


Neither of these. Get CapacitorWizard for ESR and use multimeter for capacitance. Analog ESR meter is way faster for troubleshooting purposes.

That one? 200$... :-\
Can't you built it yourself for a few bucks? AC generator+ AC current indicator?

This one doesn't look bad:

ESR meter should be able to measure up to 50ohm and that scale from 0 to 2ohm uses 1/3 of the scale..

If you make money fixing stuff that CapacitorWizard will get paid off from 1 or 2 repairs and will last you for years..
