The reason a multimeter can measure current, voltage, and resistance lies in its use of a sensitive galvanometer. When a small current passes through the meter, the needle will indicate a value. However, the galvanometer cannot directly handle large currents, so it is necessary to connect some resistors in parallel or series with the galvanometer … Read more
(1) The drive waveform of soft switch welding machines rises and falls at an angle, as shown in the figure below. The waveform of hard switch machines is like a single tube wave, rising and falling straight. Issues with absorption can cause spikes in the waveform. During maintenance, some waveforms may be unfamiliar; if the … Read more
A multimeter, also known as a volt/ohm meter or multitester, is a versatile measuring instrument capable of measuring various electrical properties such as direct current, direct voltage, alternating voltage, resistance, and audio levels. Some models can also measure alternating current, capacitance, inductance, and certain semiconductor parameters. It is a commonly used tool for electricians. 1. … Read more

A multimeter, also known as a multimeter, three-in-one meter, or multifunction meter, is a versatile measuring instrument that can measure DC current, DC voltage, AC voltage, resistance, and audio levels. Some can also measure AC current, capacitance, inductance, and certain parameters of semiconductors (such as β). AC voltage measurement: As shown in Figure 1, the … Read more
Content: 1 Introduction to Digital Multimeters Digital measuring instruments have become mainstream due to their high sensitivity, accuracy, clear display, strong overload capability, portability, and ease of use. Figure 1 below uses this type of digital multimeter as an example to briefly introduce its usage and precautions. 2 Appearance of Digital Multimeter 3 Illustration of … Read more
Recently, a colleague at the company asked me: “Can an oscilloscope be directly connected to the 220V voltage between the live wire and the neutral wire? Will it blow up?” Because it indeed exploded once before, it left a lingering fear~ I believe many of you have similar questions, so today I will summarize this … Read more
