Is there a meter to measure the capacitance of super capacitors (+1F)? If some one does know of a super capacitor meter, what is the cheapest one? And which one has the highest capacitance range for any price?
The fluke 289 can measure 100mF.
if you already have a Fluke 289, you can try this (make sure that the cap in question doesn't have more than a couple of 100 mV residual voltage accross its terminals):
1. make a [Lo Ohms] measurement on the capacitor and [Save] a [Record].
2. press the [Start] button, and [Stop] the recording after exactly 60 sec.
3. look at the trend record and find two points on the linear portion of the Ohms vs. time plot that are 60 sec apart.
4. find the slope of the plot by calculating D = (Ohms2 - Ohms1) / 60. [Ohms/sec].
5. calculate the capacitance of your cap as C = 1/D [F].
albeit a bit lengthy to perform, this method gives quite decent results on the Fluke 289. you probably can shorten the measurement [i.e., recording] time to just a couple of seconds and sacrifice some accuracy, but i didn't try that.
