The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this instrument. - Page 5 • Discharge high voltage capacitors after removing power. • If possible, familiarize yourself with the equipment being tested and the location of its high voltage points. However, remember that high voltage may appear at unexpected points in defective equipment. • Use an insulated floor material or large insulated floor to stand on, and an insulated work surface on which to place equipment.

(L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of an electrical component. The LCR-600 has an operational frequency range of 100 Hz to 100 kHz and basic measurement accuracy of 0.3%. There is a dual LCD display, measurement voltage fixed at 0.6 V, auto-detect function, and open-circuit /short-circuit compensation. - Page 8 Figure 1 When showing the impedance as vector (Z), it is the addition of resistance (R) and reactance (X). On the Cartesian coordinate system this will be as shown in Figure 1. ½ Z=( R θ= Tan (X/R) Z= (Impedance) R= (Resistance) X= (Reactance) Reactance contains (Inductive) X...

Page 9: Esr Or Rp
3.3 ESR or RP Ideally, capacitors, inductors, or resistors only contribute capacitance, inductance, or resistance (respectively) to a circuit. But in reality, these components will always have non-zero values of the other two characteristics. For instance, a capacitor will not simply offer capacitance but will have some degree, however small, of resistance and inductance. -
Page 10: Quality And Dissipation Factors
3.4 Quality and Dissipation Factors Other, secondary measurements of the LCR-600 include Quality Factor (Q) and Dissipation Factor (D). These two measurements are actually reciprocals of each other. They refer to the damping characteristic of the electrical component. A higher Quality Factor (Q) means that the energy being transmitted through the component will “die out”... -

Page 20: Open / Short Compensation
(Figure 5(b)). When the DUT is shorted, the instrument gets the impedance Z + jωL (Figure 5(c)). After the open and short compensation, the LCR-600 has Y and Z that will be used for the real Z calculation (Figure 5(d)) . -

whether you have high or low impedance values as to what mode is best. 7.3.1 Capacitor The impedance and capacitance of a capacitor are inversely proportional. Therefore, the larger capacitance means the lower impedance, the smaller capacitance means the higher impedance. Figure 6 shows the equivalent circuit of capacitor. -
