Stepper motors contain coil windings that require resistance measurements. Measuring resistance in a production environment often requires some special circuits that minimize errors. Resistance is ...

When a voltage is applied to a material or device,current will flow through it. How much current will flow is based on theresistance that the material applies to a circuit. The resistance of a ...

A multimeter and its test leads allow electrical workers to reach into an energized panel, touch live circuit components with the end of the test leads, and capture electrical readings like voltage, ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...

David Grant of ACT Meters provides a basic understanding of digital multimeters and how to use them to test alarm systems. He pays particular attention to safety The purpose of a multimeter is to ...

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...

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 ...
