After retiring, I no longer have access to a good dual trace scope. Occasionally miss not being able to measure frequency. I've never had a hand held freq meter or hand held capacitor tester.
I bought a cheap meter to measure powerfactor and frequency along with other things. The frequency part wasn't accurate. AC amps reads a little high. I thought I bought a good frequency meter until I checked it against other meters. It always showed 60 hz on my genny even though my genny's freqency meter showed 66 hz. Lowered the genny speed, genny's meter decreased, other meter showed 60.
Really don't need an AC amprobe, have 2, one digital and one old analog. Have accurate EVOM's too.
It's the frequency/capacitor meter is only the tool I currenty have on my bucket list. So, what frequency/capacitor meter do you have, model #, and how much? Ever test your meter for accuracy against other meters?
Thanks,
George
