This is valuable for testing ESR on caps for both linear and switching power supplies and other possible applications of high value capacitors.

And also how to test them! My only concerns is the resistance of test clips and how they might influence the results. I’m always finding poor contact when using my own test equipment. Thanks again, Dave
