I like the look of the Gossen you linked - but it looks like you do not get a capacitance function. The Hantek capacitance specs are not spectacular - see below (range, accuracy, resolution) |

--- Quote from: marck120 on November 02, 2021, 10:32:14 pm ---I was left with the doubt of the capacitors, the 1000v of the capacitors have nothing to do with the 1000v of the alternating current ? at home there are no problems the maximum is 230v, it is also true that the capacitor must be discharged before taking the measurement. --- End quote --- The voltage shown in the capacitor only specifies its maximum operating range, not a voltage that is constantly present on it. In other words, the capacitor can be charged with any voltage from near zero volts up to 1000 VDC and you always want to discharge it before measuring it. A capacitor cannot store AC voltage. Regarding the other options suggested and reviewing your original post, for light use and no involvement with high power electrical systems you will be satisfied with most of the suggestions here. A summary would be: If you are looking for a meter that will last you a lifetime, go with the Brymen meters and perhaps even the Fluke 17B - but the Fluke is the one that has the least amount of features. One advantage of these brands is that, if you buy them from an official channel in Europe, you will have warranty. The Uni-T UT-61+ and the UT-161 are good options at a lower price than the Brymens and have better input protection than the other lower cost options. They may be also sold by a distributor in Europe, which would give you warranty as well, but I suspect the price will be higher that buying direct from China and you will miss the warranty. The Aneng AN870 is also a good option at an even lower price, which can suit your needs as well. But it will come at the cost of being mechanically and electrically less robust when compared to the other options. I suspect they don't have an official sales channel in Europe and buying direct, although cheaper, will give you no warranty in case of problems. The cheaper Anengs mentioned here (8008, 8009) have several reports of mechanical weakness (I have a similar model and can attest to this) and, in my opinion, are not worth it. At this price range (below twenty dollars), in my opinion me the best meter is the Richmeters RM113D. |

My mistake on the Gossen - if you get the DM62 version, you get a capacitance measuring function |
