How to Install your CapWizSavr
Read Article in Television Magazine about the Capacitor Wizard ESR Meter
Using the Capacitor Wizard ESR Meter for the First Time
What happens if I accidentally try to test a CHARGED CAPACITOR
(Nothing with the CapWizSavr
installed)
View drawing of the Capacitor Wizard ESR Meter
The Capacitor Wizard is an extremely FAST and RELIABLE device
designed to measure ESR (Equivalent Series
Resistance) on capacitors of 1uf and larger "IN CIRCUIT" eliminating the
need to remove the capacitor for accurate tests. The Capacitor Wizard finds BAD
caps IN CIRCUIT that even VERY EXPENSIVE cap checkers MISS ENTIRELY, even out of
the circuit!! (See Doug's Tech
Notes.)
Why measure ESR? A capacitors
physical construction dictates that most capacitor failure modes
will adversely affect a capacitors ESR. When a capacitor fails ESR goes up to as
high as infinity, depending upon the particular failure mode. An open cap
measures infinity. Slight dielectric changes cause ESR to go up by several ohms.
Standard capacitor meters cannot detect any change in ESR therefore they miss
bad capacitors leading to time consuming "Tough Dog" repairs. A good percentage
of your capacitor troubles are caused by an increase in ESR! The Capacitor
Wizard won't be fooled!!
The Capacitor Wizards method of measurement is based on sound
BASIC ELECTRONICS. It is an AC Ohm Meter with its Frequency, Waveform and
Measurement Point carefully chosen to maximize its ability to measure low values
of ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) on capacitors of 1uf and up. If a
capacitor opens up the Capacitor Wizard measures infinity indicating a
drastically bad capacitor. If a capacitor changes value slightly the ESR goes up
indicating a bad capacitor. In switching and high current applications (TV Horiz
/ Vert, Switching Power Supplies, Motor Start and Run Caps) the difference
between 0.2 ohms ESR and 2 ohms ESR is very significant!
Many occupations can benefit from using the Capacitor Wizard:
TV Repair, Printer Repair, Switching Power Supply Repair, Computer Monitor
Repair, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Medical Electronics, Electric Motor
Repair to name a few.
Typical testimonial from our satisfied customers
Hi all!
I've used your cap wizard for
quite a few years now and have found it to be one of the most important tools
that I use in repairing equipment. I have also used the digital one with
the LED's on the front made by the other company and have found it to be no
comparison to yours! It's so nice to be able to use
something as accurate and reliable and one that you can trust! That
little meter has saved my butt a number of times! :-)
thanks!!
Mark
The Capacitor Wizard has earned the UL Listing Mark for both
the United States and Canada!!! It conforms to UL3111-1 "Electrical
Measuring and Test Equipment". Representative samples of the Capacitor Wizard
have been evaluated by UL and meet the applicable US and Canadian
Standards Requirements.
The Capacitor Wizard also conforms to the European
Standard EN-55022 and EN-50082-1 earning the Capacitor Wizard
the "CE" mark.
