[QUOTE="Llew, post: 1032802, member: 175007"] I consider an ESR meter essential for testing the electrolytics in the ubiquitous SMPS found in most of today's equipment. I don't know how similar in design the ones shown on flebay are, and how accurate they turn out to be in practice, but I built an ESR tester from a circuit in TV Magazine many years ago, having an analogue meter readout rather than a digital display. Over the years it has given excellent service finding many dead and dying capacitors in all kinds of power supplies in satellite and TVreceivers. Never be without one, whether as part of a multi-use or a discrete meter :) [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/every-satellite-hobbyist-should-have-one.55132/page-2#post-338193']Every satellite hobbyist should have one.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
