AI Customer ServiceEven with these Multimeters, we can test a Capacitor. Remove the Capacitor from the circuit or board and make sure it is completely discharged. Set the Multimeter to measure resistance i.e., set the knob to Ohm or Resistance Settings.
Connect the multimeter probes to the capacitor and set it to capacitance mode. Then, take the value and compare it to the expected value of the capacitor. If it is within 10-20% it is good, if not, it is bad. View our online selection of clamp meters and multimeters!
A multimeter in resistance mode can be used to check if a capacitor is faulty or not. The basic principle used is the capability of a capacitor to charge when a current flows through its leads. To check a capacitor in the resistance mode, perform the following steps: Remove the capacitor to be tested from the electric board.
Another check you can do is check the capacitance of the capacitor with a multimeter, if you have a capacitance meter on your multimeter. All you have to do is read the capacitance that is on the exterior of the capacitor and take the multimeter probes and place them on the leads of the capacitor. Polarity doesn't matter.
Discharge the capacitor completely by connecting it across a resistor, and remove the capacitor thereafter for testing. Connect the capacitor terminals to the leads of the probe (positive terminal of the capacitor to the red probe and the negative terminal of the capacitor to the black probe of the multimeter).
As usual, disconnect the capacitor and discharge it. You can discharge a capacitor just by shorting the leads (very dangerous – be careful) but an easy way is to use a load like a high wattage resistor or an LED. Put the Analog Multimeter in Ohmmeter position and if there are multiple ranges, choose a higher range.
