Which tool for testing big capacitors:Atlas ESR70, DE 5000, Sencore lc53 Z-meter
TheDefpom:
The Peak ESR 70 Gold meter is very good for in circuit testing, I have the DE5000 as well, and that does fine out of circuit, but its insistence in not going back to last used mode drives me nuts every time I turn it on.
There is also a UNI-T version which is basically a clone of the DE5000, works just as well, BUT the included tweezer probes are a bit flimsy.
I would love to pick up a Sencore for my bench the the prices are just stupid, even for broken ones.
RiRaRi:
So would you say that Atlas ESR70 is better for in-circuit testing then LCR like DER DE5000?
TheDefpom:
Yes, definitely, while the DE5000 can do SOME in circuit measurements it is affected a lot more than the ESR70 is.
TheDefpom:
I have done a review video of the ESR70 here: https://youtu.be/FrhF-V0fsh8
RiRaRi:
I just saw the video. Very helpful thanks. So in conclusion LCR meters in general are not as good as Peak ESR70 in measuring caps esr, and also as not as good for in-circuit.
