Reply To: Testing condensers question

[JACQUES]

the only good way to test condensers is  aside from obvious shorts, dead, no reading…. with a VOM and Cap meter  is to measure under load  at 250V +

see M.Mohat’s  excellent articles   on the subject and  offer  …if you write to him …..to supply  you with a a basic test box diagram you can build… I did and it works great
