When in use, the capacitance of the test object shall not exceed the rated capacitance of the instrument. If the capacitance of the test object is too small, the output waveform will be affected. If it is less than 0.05 μ F, the instrument will not output normally. At this time, 0.05 μ f capacitor (provided by the company) can be connected in parallel for auxiliary output. See Table 1 and table 2 for the estimation of capacitance of common electrical equipment.
