Keysight Technologies LCR Meters
Power through pesky component testing with a meter that can do it all. LCR meters are powerful electrical testers that can measure a component's inductance, capacitance, and resistance. Often used in electrical calibration, these meters find out these electrical properties by passing a current through a component. The current causes a change in voltage that is measured to find out the inductance. How much electrical charge the component can store is known as its capacitance, and the resistance it places on the current as it passes through the component is how its resistance is measured. Keysight Technologies are electrical experts, so it's to be expected that their meters set the industry standard. They offer a range of meters, from portable options for quick measurements right from your pocket to high performers to sit on your workshop benches.
Why do I need an LCR meter?
As LCR meters can test multiple electrical properties, they are used in a variety of different industries. Some examples include:
- Circuit design and testing
- Education
- Manufacturing
- Product research and development
- Repair and troubleshooting
Which LCR meter is right for me?
When choosing an LCR meter, it's important to consider:
- A bench LCR meter is better for more demanding testing that requires a higher maximum inductance, capacitance, or resistance reading. These cost more and take up more space, but they generally offer better performance.
- A handheld LCR meter is better for on-the-go testing, where you need a portable meter that you can fit in your pocket. These are affordable and easy to use, with large screens that clearly display readings. They can often be plugged into computers or laptops to use with compatible visualisation software.
- Calibration is available on most of our LCR meters, which means that your meter will give accurate readings from the get-go. This is an important consideration if the components you test will be used in high-risk applications.
