1. Introduction

1.1 General

The B&K Precision Models 885 & 886 Synthesized In-Circuit

LCR/ESR Meter is a high accuracy hand held portable test

instrument used for measuring inductors, capacitors and resistors

with a basic accuracy of 0.5%. It is the most advanced handheld

AC/DC impedance measurement instrument to date. The 885 or 886

can help engineers and students to understand the characteristic of

electronics components as well as being an essential tool on any

service bench.

The instrument is auto or manual ranging. Test frequencies of

100Hz, 120Hz, 1KHz 10KHz or 100KHz (886) may be selected on

all applicable ranges. The test voltages of 50mVrms, 0.25Vrms,

1Vrms or 1VDC (DCR only) may also be selected on all applicable

ranges. The dual display feature permits simultaneous

measurements.

Components can be measured in the series or parallel mode as

desired; the more standard method is automatically selected first but

can be overridden.

The Model 885 and 886 offers three useful modes for sorting

components.

The highly versatile Models can perform virtually all the functions

of most bench type LCR bridges. With a basic accuracy of 0.2%,

this economical LCR meter may be adequately substituted for a

more expensive LCR bridge in many situations. The meter is

powered from two AA Batteries and is supplied with an AC to DC

charging adapter and two AA Ni-Mh Rechargeable Batteries.

The instrument has applications in electronic engineering labs,

production facilities, service shops, and schools. It can be used to

check ESR values of capacitors, sort values, select precision values,

measure unmarked and unknown inductors, capacitors or resistors,

and to measure capacitance, inductance, or resistance of cables,

switches, circuit board foils, etc.

The key features are as following:

Frequency : 100Hz / 120Hz / 1KHz / 10KHz /

100KHz (886)

1.2 Impedance Parameters

Due to the different testing signals on the impedance measurement

instrument, there are DC impedance and AC impedance. The

common digital multi-meter can only measure the DC impedance,

but the Model 885 can do both. It is a very important issue to

understand the impedance parameters of the electronic component.

When we analysis the impedance by the impedance measurement

plane (Figure 1.1). It can be visualized by the real element on the

X-axis and the imaginary element on the y-axis. This impedance

measurement plane can also be seen as the polar coordinates. The Z

is the magnitude and the

is the phase of the impedance.

There are two different types of reactance: Inductive (X

) and

Capacitive (X

). It can be defined as follows:

= Inductance (H)

C = Capacitance (F)

Also, there are quality factor (Q) and the dissipation factor (D) that

need to be discussed. For component, the quality factor serves as a

measure of the reactance purity. In the real world, there is always

some associated resistance that dissipates power, decreasing the

amount of energy that can be recovered. The quality factor can be

defined as the ratio of the stored energy (reactance) and the

dissipated energy (resistance). Q is generally used for inductors and

D for capacitors.

There are two types of the circuit mode. One is series mode, the

other is parallel mode. See Figure 1.2 to find out the relation of the

series and parallel mode.
