We have all had difficulty testing diodes in-circuit. Most DMM’s have a diode Vf function that measures forward drop, but what is the normal voltage drop? Analog VOM’s attempt to measure resistance of ...

Snap-on’s new EECT900 Multi-Probe Ultra features a circuit tester and digital multimeter in one handheld device for testing AC and DC voltage, resistance, and amperage. A rear-facing LCD navigation ...

Modern digital multimeters (DMMs) are user-friendly, accurate, and safe — when used correctly! Reading voltage is simple, but measurements must be properly interpreted. With a clamp-on DMM, accurate ...

Suppose that you need to test a 1.5V, AA-size alkaline battery. You can apply a short circuit and measure current, or you can measure open-circuit voltage, but neither method properly tests the ...

Branch circuit wiring problems lead to more residential electrical fires than any other single cause. Hidden trouble inside a branch circuit can also lead to electrocutions and the failure of ...
