So what do I use to test mine? Each cap has 2 strips of 9' long 2" wide 10 mil copper, separated by 10mil pp. There's no way my meter battery can charge one.

You can’t use a regular screwdriver 🥴🥴🥴how can you even think of discharging a capacitor with a regular screwdriver… imagine people seeing this video and discharging their microwaves capacitors with a regular screwdriver.. like 2000V flowing through a stick of conductor with no insulation whatsoever 🥴 PLEASE…! Be careful on what you say, people could take your word for it! ELECTRICITY CAN KILL…! It’s no jokes

useless, what setting? can i do it without removing it. I see you've linked another video for settings (the markings are not visible in this video), but I clicked on this video because I only need to know this today, I know about continuity, voltage and resistance testing.

Great video I like how you showed how to use a standard multi meter to test the caps with resistance, almost no one knows you can use them for caps in the trade....

Learned nothing but how to discharge the capacitor....start by assuming the viewer like me are new and just bought a multimeter and the instruction are as confusing as another language.

Can you measure capacitors without removing them from the circuit board?

I have a cap on a 130w extractor fan for a cooker, and when testing continuity it reads 1040. It doesn't bleep. Does this mean it's okay? Wondering if it's just the motor that burned out, otherwise it's more money for the whole unit.
Thanks!

Please consider the fact that you are not teaching here this lesson to experts but to learners. Here in your lesson you did not have the courtesy to show the learners to what symbol or position in the multimeter one has to turn to to check the capacitor. You know it and experts know it but learners do not.

Sir may I ask, if I have a motor starting capacitor for "Dough Mixer" of 80µF 10+20% 270V, and I have a reading of 85µF, shall I say that the capacitor is in excellent condition?

I share many of the comments left here. It looks like a good video but really it's very confusing. It does not show which setting(s) to use for the multimeter, nor does it even tell which lead of the meter connects to which leg (+ or -) of the electrolytic capacitor. Oh my!

All I need to know is which multimeter setting to use and what values I need to determine so as to identify if I need to replace or keep. The values were straight forward, however as this is the first time I have tested a capacitor I did not pick up on what MM setting to use.

Thank you so much, the capacitor in my PSU is dead so that is why it stopped working after 3 years, it beeped and the resistance was zero. Keep up the good job for humanity. best video I ever see.

Yes, your vid is mis-titled. You explain almost everything about a capacitor and their rating but never explain the multimeter’s settings/read outs. Thanks for sharing but I believe you missed the boat with this one.
