The difference between LCR meter and multimeter
LCR meter, as the name implies, is a special measurement tool used to measure the parameters of the certificate of electrical components, L, refers to the inductance, c, refers to the capacitance, R, refers to the resistance. In addition, the LCR meter cannot measure other things, and it is necessary to measure inductance, resistance or capacitance when the circuit is powered off. Because it is a special instrument, the measurement precision is high and the accuracy is strong.
A multimeter, in addition to measuring the inductive reactance of the above-mentioned resistance, capacitance and inductance, can also measure AC and DC voltage, current, power frequency, etc. with different gears. Although it has more functions, its precision is not very accurate.
To put it simply, the LCR meter is used to measure the intrinsic parameters of the separated components, such as the resistance value of the resistor, the capacitance value of the capacitor, etc. It generally needs to be tested independently when the power is turned off. The multimeter is a multi-functional measuring instrument, it can test the separation components, it can also test the electrical signal characteristics, and it also has some other measurement functions.
