It's a dangerous measurement with HF HV square waves- just to "check" motor speed? The VFD display tells me that and more- just read RPM there.
Why would it ever not match the VFD's intent? A shorted IGBT or SCR you're see some blown fuses, loss of a phase, so I think VFD Hz is useless.

Kane sent me an EEVblog branded 555 meter, a variation on the 121GW, and they wanted to know if I was keen to sell it.
But I didn't understand why they added motor measurement on such an instrument, didn't make much sense  :-//

"double sided EMI shielded"
and
"speeded uF and Mohms ranges"

I wonder they are new features not found on any existing models?

The range selector has separate positions for nF and uF so they're probably using a different circuit for faster (and more robust?) uF measurements,

eg. For checking motor capacitors?

FWIW: The 2807 model has "Single-pole Contact EF-Detection for Precise Indications of Live Conductors"



Also non-contact EF detection with selectable sensitivity:

This is slightly worrying:


Looks like battery life will only be about 150 hours.

Surely they could have made it work with 3xAAA. LDOs only cost a few cents.

Low Bat below 2.5V, Accus got 1.2V each..
