How to Use a Multimeter to Identify Neutral and Ground Wires

Distinguishing between neutral and ground wires: The ground wire is required to be yellow/green striped during installation, so it can be identified by its color. The neutral wire is generally blue. 1. Set the multimeter range switch to the AC voltage setting, which should be available on all multimeters. 2. The range should be from … Read more

Using Multimeter to Test Electric Motors

Three-phase asynchronous motors are widely used. When electricians are repairing motors, they often encounter some old motors that lack nameplates or markings, or the nameplates and markings are unclear. How to use a multimeter to determine and test the motor windings, number of poles, speed, etc., is discussed below. 1. Determining the Start and End … Read more
