Using multimeter VOM as voltmeter for ACV test

The Ac voltmeter is used to measure alternative current voltage or electrical pressure of a circuit. This instrument is connected across the circuit and it does not require correct application of the polarity . The unit of measure is volt(V).

Note;

•  If the voltage range is unknown get the estimate value by setting the knob at the top level or should be   at 1000 V before measuring AC voltage,then adjust or lower the range until you could read it conveniently.
•   Do not touch the test probe.

Procedure:

1. set the knob  of your multimeter  to AC V
2. Choose the proper range .The numbers indicated in the multimeter are the maximum voltage reading for the range. 
3. Connect the test probe in the component being measured
4. Read the voltage value on the display
