I know this question has been answered already but, yes micro farads are used for testing capacitance. This meter is a really good model for HVAC/R work because you can test resistance, voltage, temperatures, amp draw, and capacitance all with one meter. Very important to have one of these in the tool bag with how versatile it is.

Capacitors failing are quite common on older circuit boards, the micro farad check would tell you if a capacitor swop out is needed.

Does this meter automatically shut off if you forget to turn the dial to the off position?

Niiice. I use the 376 fc and love it

I have the previous model 323 it does the job and the clamp is quite handly as 3rd hand, oh and I have dropped it in a bucket of water still working

I use the micro farads for checking capacitors on oil boilers states on the side what they should be and you can compare :)

I don't think you did. You can't test a changed capacitor. Have to be discharged and not connected to a supply. You can calculate the capacitance if you know the voltage, current, and frequency. But that's going to need some maths.

Use the UF function a fair bit to test capacitors on motors. Good video, thanks

I use the farad setting to check capacitors on RV ac units all the time.

The farads is used on capacitors .Air conditioning systems / fan motors

The hertz setting checks the mains feed and checks that the supply is 50Hz in the case of U.K.

You can test temperature on breaker screws to see if there’s a loose connection.

The farads scale is for checking capacitors out. ie if a single phase motor isn’t working, just humming. It’s likely that the start cap is gone.

Thanks! How would you use that in actual practise? Do you use the test probes or the clamp?

Probes. Test between the 2 poles of the capacitor the check the result with the size of the cap.

I set according to the images that there is no auto off and no light off after 2 minutes. how to restore to factory settings ?

Hi does it read DC amps below 40amps? Bit confused with the range that is listed on the webpage. I've subbed and enjoying atlot of your videos. Great work👍

Yeah its a little confusing how they lay it out. Up to 40A DC it will show up to two decimal places. Up to 400A it will show to one decimal place.

Nice job god bless

Looks like a nice unit. I have the kewtech KT200. It’s ok. Doesn’t have the min/max setting on amps so will need to get a different unit. Do you have or recommend an earth leakage clamp meter? Maybe the next tools4sparks video 🤔

uF is capacitance, and the thermometer is great for HVAC techs reading duct work tmep and even refrigerant line temps is you don't have a pipe clamp thermometer

Did you buy the probes separately?
