4.16 Measuring capacitance

Beware of Electrocution. To avoid electric shock, make sure that the

tance of a capacitor.
• Plug the black test lead into the COM jack and the red test lead into the

• After fully discharged the capacitor, connect the test leads to the two ends of
the capacitor for measurement.
