- Touch terminal (2) to housing (1) in order to discharge the capacitor.
Note: Discharge the capacitor after each measurement.
- Connect the negative multimeter lead to the capacitor housing (1) and the positive multimeter lead to the ring terminal (2) .
- Measure the resistance and record the results.
- Repeat Step 2.
- Reverse the leads and measure again.
Expected Result: The resistance is low for a short period of time. Then the resistance gradually increases to greater than 100000 ohms.
Results:
OK - The resistance gradually increases to greater than 100000 ohms. The capacitor is normal.
NOT OK - The resistance is infinite or the resistance does not gradually increase to greater than 100000 ohms. Replace the capacitor.
