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.
