Application: Measuring Low Resistance Values; Capacitance Measurement - Fluke 183 User Manual

Application: Measuring Low Resistance Values

To measure low resistance values to 0.01
mode and short the leads together to subtract the lead resistance from low-
resistance measurements. If you do not short the leads together, the meter will
not enter 50 mode. The lead resistance must be less than 5 . The measured
resistance shows on the main display.
To avoid damaging the meter, remove all power from the
circuit before connecting the test leads.

Capacitance Measurement

Measurement
Capacitance
To avoid damaging the meter, remove all power from the
circuit before connecting the test leads.
Measuring large-value capacitors may take several seconds.
Follow the procedures below when making capacitance measurements:
Remove capacitors from circuitry.
Discharge capacitors before measuring them.
To measure small values of capacitance accurately, press
the leads are open.
