The Fluke 116 Digital HVAC Multimeter is a digital multimeter that is designed specifically for the HVAC industry. In this video, Our lead facility mechanic and HVAC specialist at Fluke demonstrates how to test a capacitor with the Fluke 116 Digital HVAC Multimeter on the rooftop of our production facility in Everett, Washington.
When testing a capacitor, simply turn the dial to the proper scale (capacitor scale). The Fluke 116 Digital HVAC Multimeter will then display a reading that will determine whether the capacitor is in good shape (based on the comparison between the capacitor rating for that particular unit and the Multimeter reading) or may need to be replaced.
When measuring continuity, simply turn the Fluke 116 dial to the Ohms function and the Fluke 116 will do the rest. This ensures that the test leads are inserted or operating correctly and the internal circuitry of the multimeter is also operating correctly.

I guess I must respond. If you are demonstrating best practices, please consider doing a voltage check after shutting off the disconnect before handling electric terminals. Yes we all do it but I have had disconnects fail to open the circuit. Fluke makes a nice voltage tester. Also run caps do not hold a charge. They discharge through the windings. Not trying to beat you up. The video is good and clear.

I replaced a disconnect at work the other day that didn't open and close the blades like it should with the lever. Always check to make sure the system is actually dead before sticking your hand in like that.

Great tip for capacitors- do a voltage check across the terminals for 5 sec. to safely discharge them. The resistor in the meter can easily drain any cap. Shorting with tools can damage the capacitor even if it's safe for you.

(Comment via Ken) Good call on the secondary energized circuit check. I should have checked incoming power on the line side of the connections before I put hands on. That said, I plan to continue shorting both run and start capacitors prior to handling. I agree with our college who posted the shotgun like effect of a faulty capacitor. (cont'd)

I was taught on 3 phase 460v equipment, it would have been nice to see you test and verify power was actually shut off with Fluke meter. I can't tell you how meany time i have went behind someone else where they had jumped one leg around a disconnect or switch gear.

Ken enjoyed your video. I would've benefitted by a closer in look at the fluke panel to see where it was set to. I googled the fluke model and saw where your settings were.

I know this comment is 3 months old, but considering the safety factor felt it necessary to comment. Run capacitors do have the potential to hold an electrical charge. I pulled one from a unit once, set it on top of the unit and discharged it with a screwdriver. Normally nothing happens, but this time the cap being discharged sounded like a gunshot. I'd rather not know what would of happened if I touched both the terminals with my hand. Run caps can hold a charge, trust me on that.

Huh, Didn't know my Fluke 116 could do that, Thanks! Sure beats going back to the truck or shop to get a capacitor checker.
@grayfurnaceman
@grayfurnaceman 12 лет назад
I have had heard the comment before. About the only way that could happen is if the start and run winding both failed at the same time, then you removed the cap. I have touched a run cap that was charged. It is pretty much like a 120v shock. If you can come up with another way it could happen, I would like to hear it. Thanks for the comment.

Nice work Ken and I love the fluke meter. My 376 just decided to take a dump on me so I have to replace it and I am debating going back with fluke but I do love them. Thanks for the video though.

Can you tell me your journey in HVAC,from beginning education to how you gained knowledge in your first year until you were prepared to move to your 2nd year etc.
@fluke
@fluke 12 лет назад
(cont'd) I also agree with you, charge should dissipate through the windings after the compressor is DE energized. Nevertheless a capacitor is an electrical device used for storing electric charge.

Why not check it under load to get a more accurate reading. Can that meter display voltage and amperage simultaneously?
@rookierefrigeration4357
@rookierefrigeration4357 5 лет назад
Agreed. I'd rather test it under load. And use a UEI or Fieldpiece meter that does amps and volts on a dual screen readout.

Hi Ulises - Great question. In this video, we were showing that the meter has the function of measuring a capacitor. Ken, the technician, went through the proper steps of de-energizing the system, discharging the capacitor and measuring the capacitor using the function on the 116. Yes, you can also test the capacitor under load, but in this video, instruction on testing the capacitor was not under load. In a future video, we would need to use the 902FC for making the measurement under load or having the 116 with a i410.

Can't shed any light on how it happened, it was some years back and don't remember the specific circumstances. One thing I do recall though is after hearing the bang echo through the neighborhood for a few seconds, I was sure the cops were gonna show up looking for the origin of the " shots fired', but they did'nt show.LOL

@fluke
@fluke 2 года назад
Thanks for your question Dale! The Fluke 116 does not have the function to measure duty cycles. We have meters that will, check out the Fluke 87V or 280 series to obtain that measurement with a Digital Multimeter. bit.ly/3v1gnme

Treat all Electrical as if it were a Loaded Firearm !!! Plain and Simple like Stated the Disconnect could Fail always Test Load Side, and in the Same Instance what if the call was Placed and it was Actually Failed Windings , Discharge Cap , these Procedures only take Seconds !!! Your not gonna Hurt the Cap by Discharging , Caps Charge and Discharge , Charge and Discharge , your Cap may not be Hot 99% of the Time but why risk that 1% !!! (Safety First) ... No need to Beat anybody Up about it !!!
