03 | Keysight | U1730C Series Handheld LCR Meters – Data Sheet

Features

Key features

– 20,000 counts resolution

– 0.2% basic accuracy

– Wide LCR ranges with three to five

selectable test frequencies (up to 100

kHz for U1733C)

– Auto identification (Ai) automatically

determines and displays component

type and measurements

– Detailed component analysis with DCR,

ESR, Z, D, Q, and θ functions

– Battery life of 16 hours/AC-powered

– IR-to-USB connectivity for data logging

to PC

Frequency up to 100 kHz

The test frequency now extends as high as

100 kHz, providing more flexibility to test a

wider range of components. A higher test

frequency, for example 100 kHz, is useful

for applications such as testing aluminum

electrolytic capacitors used in switching

power supply circuits.

Automated identification

With Ai the testing and measuring experi-

ence is easy; eliminating unnecessary trial

and error time—with just a single push

of a button. This unique feature automati-

cally specifies L, C, or R with parallel and

series mode, without the need to manually

change buttons.

Detailed component analysis

The handheld LCR meters allows you to

test various component types, including

secondary components of Dissipation

Factor (D), Quality Factor (Q), and Angle

Indication of Impedance (θ). This new

handheld series also includes other

functions that result in a more detailed

component analysis. For example, the

built-in Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR)

function helps you better understand

the inherent resistance behavior typi-

cally found in capacitors across selected

frequencies. DCR is a built-in DC resistance

measurement that eliminates the use of

a separate digital multimeter (DMM) for

component test.
