Default Re: Testing capacitors with a 'Megger'

Interesting replies thanks to everyone. One word of warning though for anyone not conversant with this method of checking leaky caps, DON'T FORGET TO DISCHARGE THE CAPACITOR YOU HAVE JUST TESTED! It will have 500v or so across its terminals ready to bite!
