Compact capacitance meters from B&K
measure up to 200mF at 0.5% accuracy
B&K Precision has refreshed its capacitance meter
line with updated models 830C and 890C. The 830C measures
capacitance up to 200mF and includes an A/C adaptor, while
the 890C measures up to 50 mF. Features updated on both
models include standard mini USB and cable, improved ergonomic
design, upgraded LCD and backlight, and protective screen
visor. Models 830C and 890C are competitively priced at
$289, and $149, respectively.
B&K says "Unlike other handheld instruments such
as LCR meters that make measurements using an AC signal
with a specific test frequency, the 830C and 890C measures
capacitance by applying a constant current that briefly
charges, then discharges the connected capacitor."
These meters offers a basic accuracy of 0.5% and fast auto
range design for rapid, easy component measurements. The
other features include SCPI compliant commands for remote
communication
Software for data logging and front panel emulation available
as free download.
Suggested applications include Capacitive component troubleshooting,
Electronic assembly, Component sorting, and Quality control.
