ESR meter
(1/1)
janengelbrecht:
I have built an incircuit ESR meter based on arduino.
My only problem is calibrating it.
I only have the AVR component tester from ebay TC-7. And we all know it isnt really that good.

Is there some industry standard methods to measure ESR with an oscilloscope, tonegenerator and perhaps a few components ?

xtech:
Use resistor, then measure unknown capacitor and check if adding same resistor in series with capacitor changes reading by proper value.

Not industry standard but useful still...          calculations shown at 11:53.
kripton2035:
I would use a simple small value like 1Ω resistor, it would be more than close to the real result, and enough to test if a capacitor is good or not.
I also have resistors to 50mΩ to check my esr meters ...
