Default ESR meter trap

"It does not test for high leakage, being wrongly marked in the factory or installed backwards. "

I heard of lytics marked wrong. The shop that got them said they all blew up. Turs out when they paid a bit more attention the negative lead was longer than the positive lead.

I remember a very long time ago in a small Sony TV the rectifiers were marked backwards, and so was the board ! That was a fun one.
