Title: Measure capacitance of a capacitor.
Course: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration I (17056-I) > Section: Understanding Basic Electricity

Measurement should be performed when power is off and discharged. Measurement will check capacitors for proper microfarad (μF) and voltage, using a multimeter and observing safety procedures.

Process/Skill Questions:

- How is capacitance measured?
- What is the unit of measurement for capacitance?
- What kinds of capacitors are available?
- What type of meter can check a capacitor?
- How does one safely discharge a capacitor?
- Is there a difference between an alternating current (A/C) and direct current (D/C) capacitor?
