How to Choose Electrical Measuring Instruments

Correctly using electrical measuring instruments is an essential skill for circuit maintenance and repair. What instrument should we choose for different usage scenarios? 1. Multimeter A multimeter is a versatile electrical measuring instrument, commonly used by electricians, electronics technicians, and in the production and maintenance of electrical equipment. It can measure direct current, direct voltage, … Read more

How to Use a Multimeter to Measure Voltage

The measurement process of a digital multimeter involves converting the measured value into a direct current voltage signal through a conversion circuit, then converting the analog voltage into a digital quantity via an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The result is then counted by an electronic counter and displayed directly on the screen as a digital readout. … Read more

Techniques for Measuring Electronic Components with a Multimeter

1. Measuring AC and DC Current Select the appropriate current measurement range based on the size of the current to be measured, and insert the red probe into the “A” current jack. When measuring DC, the red probe (inserted into the current jack) should contact the higher voltage side, and the black probe should contact … Read more

How to Use a Clamp Multimeter to Measure Voltage, Current, and Resistance

A clamp multimeter is composed of a current transformer and a multimeter. The core of the current transformer can open when the clamp is squeezed; the wire carrying the current to be measured can pass through the opening of the core without being cut. When the clamp is released, the core closes. A clamp multimeter … Read more

Multimeter Troubleshooting for Lighting Circuit Failures

The multimeter distinguishes between live and neutral wires. Pointer Multimeter Distinguishes Live and Neutral Wires (1) Contact Measurement Method Set the multimeter switch to AC 250V or 500V. Connect the first probe to one end of the power supply and the second probe to ground (for example, on a water pipe, radiator, or damp ground). … Read more

Precautions for Using Digital Multimeters

To avoid damage to the multimeter, please pay attention to the following points. 1. Most digital multimeter damages are caused by incorrect measurement range settings. For example, when measuring AC mains voltage, if the measurement range is set to resistance, the moment the probe contacts the mains, it can instantly damage the internal components of … Read more

How to Use a Clamp Multimeter to Measure Voltage, Current, and Resistance

The clamp ammeter is composed of a current transformer and an ammeter. The core of the current transformer can open when the clamp is squeezed; the wire carrying the current to be measured can pass through the opening of the core without being cut. When the clamp is released, the core closes. The clamp ammeter … Read more
