Re: A Tale of Two Condensers

[debe]

No not realy. But Component testers are not good for testing Ign condencers as they dont use high voltage for the test. They will give the value & ESR, which is great if you are repairing switch mode powersuplies. I use component testers for that type of work. For Ignition type condencers I use either a Mercotronic or a Neon lamp & HV to test capacitors for leakage open circuit / shorts. For me the only test is under HV conditions as that is where a capacitor is likely to break down. Horses for courses.
