Das MA 1H ist ein Vielfachmessgerät für Spannungs-, Strom-,
Widerstands- und überschlägige Kapazitätsmessungen.
Dieses "überschlägig" bereitet mir Kopfzerbrechen. Handelt es sich hierbei um eine besondere Methode des Messens?

In this context, "capacitance" would perhaps be better suited than "capacity". It has to do with a device measuring voltage, resistance and other electrical quantities. "Capacity" seems to be rather similar to volume (with units of litre / gallon etc) while "capacitance" has the units of F (Farad - though most commonly encountered capacitors have micro or even pico Farad values!)

estimative capacitance measurements
"Überschlägig" kommt hier von "etwas überschlagen": einen Wert größenordnungsmäßig abschätzen.

gauging estimated capacity
sounds simpler and more understandable than "capacitance measurement", IMO
Something went wrong...
