LCR and Capacitance Meters
LCR meters are devices that measure the inductance (L), capacitance (C) and resistance (R) values of coils, capacitors and resistors at a given test frequency. They are used in incoming quality measurement of components, electronic board repair, coil winding, and monitoring capacitors for capacitance loss and equivalent series resistance (ESR). The category includes the Unit UT622A, UT622C and UT622E handheld LCR meters, the UT603 and UT612 models, the UT601 digital capacitance meter and the benchtop UTR2810E; the product data includes test frequencies such as 100 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz and 100 kHz and parameters such as D, Q, ESR and DCR. Compare a test frequency close to the frequency at which the component will operate, the measuring range and basic accuracy, dissipation factor, quality factor and ESR measurement, the test voltage, and handheld or benchtop construction. In in-circuit measurements, parallel-connected elements affect the result; the exact value is read with the component removed from the circuit. The capacitance range of a multimeter does not replace an LCR meter that has an adjustable test frequency and also gives ESR and dissipation factor.

How to choose LCR and Capacitance Meters
LCR meters are devices that measure the inductance (L), capacitance (C) and resistance (R) values of coils, capacitors and resistors at a given test frequency. They are used in incoming quality measurement of components, electronic board repair, coil winding, and monitoring capacitors for capacitance loss and equivalent series resistance (ESR).
- Identify the measurement or fastening task and the required insulation safety rating.
- Select jaw profile, cross-section range and accessories for the conductor or fastener standard.
- Check CAT voltage category and replacement tip or die availability for field conditions.
