Using multimeter VOM as Ammeter

The DC ammeter- is used to measure the direct current of a circuit. The unit of measure is ampere (A). An multimeter can be used as ammeter by connecting it in series with the circuit. It requires correct application and polarity to measure the current. Procedure: 1. Check the pointer of the meter if it set to zero 2. Set the knob at DC and set it to the desired ampere range.There are different...

Using a Multimeter/multi-tester: Preliminary setup and Safety precautions

Multi-tester (VOM-volt/ohmeter) also called multimeter is designed to measure different magnitudes of electrical units:voltage,current and resistance. It incorporates the functions of a voltmeter,ohmmeter,and Milli-ammeter into one device. A multimeter maybe Digital (DVOM/DMM) or Analog. Parts...
