Dual Display LCR Meter Instruction Manual 7.Supplemental Information This section provides supplemental information for user consideration when operating the LCR meters.Some recommendations and explanations are provided to help aid in the use of some functions and features,in which can help the user gain optimal and accurate measurement results.
Dual Display LCR Meter Instruction Manual are used for applications such as filter chokes in power supplies, in which are typically operated at 60 Hz AC (in U.S.) with 120 Hz filter frequencies. In general,inductors below 2 mH should be measured at 1 kHz frequency while inductors above 200 H should be measured at 120 Hz.
Dual Display LCR Meter Instruction Manual Inductance For most inductance measurement, selecting series mode is the best. This is because in this mode, accurate Q (quality factor) reading can be obtained from reading low Q inductors and ohmic losses are significant. Though in some cases, parallel mode would be preferred.
Dual Display LCR Meter Instruction Manual Resistance When measuring resistance of devices,it is important to know that there are two types or ways of measurement.One type is DC resistance measurement. Another type is AC resistance measurement.The LCR meter provide both of types for measurement.When measuring a resistive component that is designed to be measured with DC, readings will be incorrect or inaccurate.Before using the meter to measure resistance,please...
