      If your Peak Measuring Instruments display shows 'In)Circuit/Leaky' even with a new capacitor out of circuit, try measuring it again a few times. This 'exercising' of the capacitor may resolve the issue.

    Why does my Peak Atlas ESR70 display show 'Removing trace charge'?
    • A
      Angela SingletonAug 31, 2025
      The message 'Removing trace charge' on your Peak Measuring Instruments indicates the device has detected potential 'Soakage' or 'Dielectric Absorption' in the attached capacitor, which is normal. The instrument is ensuring the capacitor is fully discharged to prevent voltage build-up after the discharge process.
