About Capacitance Testers

Capacitance testers are used to test the capabilities and performance of capacitors, specifically, their ability to hold or store an electrical charge. Capacitance testing is vital to finding leaking capacitors which may reduce the effectiveness of an overall circuit and result in the electrical failure of a device. A capacitance tester can also be used to perform a capacitance continuity test. Capacitors are electronic components that are used widely in many industries, including signal processing and power supply applications. They are especially useful in computer motherboards for managing the on and off switching necessary for processing binary code. Capacitance is measured in units called farads, where a 1 farad capacitor would store one coulomb of charge at one volt. However, most capacitors are measured in microfarads.
