Professional 4-Wire LCR Component Testing
The ZT-XC1 incorporates a 4-wire Kelvin LCR measurement system for testing passive electronic components. Unlike basic two-wire resistance or capacitance measurements, four-wire measurement helps reduce the influence of lead and contact resistance, supporting more dependable component analysis.
The LCR function measures three primary electrical properties:
- Inductance (L): analyse coils, inductors, chokes and other inductive components.
- Capacitance (C): measure capacitors and investigate their electrical characteristics.
- Resistance (R): evaluate resistors and resistive components.
The instrument is suitable for examining through-hole components and small surface-mount components using compatible measurement fixtures.
ESR, Q Factor, D Factor & Phase Angle
In addition to basic resistance, capacitance and inductance values, the ZT-XC1 supports the display of secondary LCR parameters.
| Parameter |
Description |
| ESR |
Equivalent Series Resistance, useful for analysing capacitor losses. |
| Q Factor |
Quality factor, used to evaluate the relationship between stored and dissipated energy. |
| D Factor |
Dissipation factor, describing losses in reactive components. |
| Phase Angle |
The phase relationship between test voltage and current. |
These additional parameters are valuable when examining capacitor performance, inductor characteristics and component behaviour beyond basic nominal values.
Selectable 100Hz, 1kHz & 10kHz Test Frequencies
The ZT-XC1 offers three selectable LCR measurement frequencies:
100Hz 1kHz 10kHz
Selecting the appropriate test frequency is important because capacitance, inductance and impedance can vary with frequency. The ZT-XC1 also provides 0.3V and 0.6V test signal levels, allowing measurement conditions to be adjusted for supported applications.
These options make the XC1 useful for general component evaluation, electronics repairs, engineering education and laboratory work.
25,000-Count True RMS Digital Multimeter
The integrated digital multimeter adds useful electrical testing functions without requiring a completely separate instrument for routine diagnostics.
Its 25,000-count display allows detailed numerical readings, while True RMS technology supports AC voltage measurement where applicable.
The multimeter mode provides electrical measurement functions including:
- AC voltage measurement
- DC voltage measurement
- Resistance measurement
- Continuity testing
- Diode testing
- Temperature measurement using a compatible probe
- Measurement statistics and trend display
Important: The ZT-XC1 is primarily an LCR component tester with additional digital multimeter functions. It should not be considered a replacement for a conventional multimeter when direct AC/DC current measurement is required.
2.4-Inch Colour TFT Display & Measurement Trends
A 2.4-inch TFT colour display presents measurement results clearly, including numerical readings and supported graphical information.
In multimeter mode, the graphical measurement trend helps users observe how readings change over time. This can be helpful when investigating fluctuating voltages, checking component behaviour or observing measurements during fault diagnosis.
The interface also supports measurement statistics such as maximum, minimum and average readings.
LCR Testing for SMD & Through-Hole Components
Component testing often involves different package sizes, from conventional leaded capacitors and resistors to small surface-mount devices.
The ZT-XC1's four-contact LCR interface supports suitable component-testing adapters, allowing electronic components to be measured without needing a large laboratory instrument.
This is particularly useful for:
- SMD resistor and capacitor evaluation
- Through-hole capacitor testing
- Inductor and coil measurement
- Electronics component identification
- PCB repair and troubleshooting
- Component selection and comparison

Rechargeable Battery & USB-C Charging
The ZT-XC1 uses a built-in 2,000mAh rechargeable lithium battery and supports USB-C charging. The compact handheld design makes the instrument convenient for workshop benches, development laboratories, repair desks and field diagnostics.
The rechargeable design eliminates the need to routinely replace disposable batteries, while the colour display makes it easy to read measurements in different working environments.
