To measure the shunt capacitance of an inductor, an LCR meter can be used to assess the inductor's characteristics, as it should measure inductance, capacitance, and resistance accurately. If the inductor appears as a short on the meter, it may indicate an issue with the measurement setup or the meter itself. A Digital Multimeter (DMM) combined with a Vector Impedance Meter can also be effective, especially by increasing the frequency until the inductor exhibits capacitive behavior. The capacitance can then be deduced from the frequency at which this transition occurs, assuming the inductance remains stable. Accurate measurement requires careful consideration of the equipment and the inductor's properties.
