Multimeters

Multimeters are the most important tool one has when working with electricity. A multimeter allows you to measure all of the important characteristics of a circuit or electrical system, which enables you to work safely and verify if a circuit is working correctly. There are many different types of multimeters that offer a variety of different functions. They range in cost dramatically as well. All multimeters, even cheap ones, should be able to perform the basic measurements that are required to do electrical work, although it is important to make sure that they are rated for use with the highest voltage and current that you intend to measure. If a multimeter is not rated to measure what you need to measure, it destroy the multimeters and could cause injury or death.

ithout being able to see electricity - generally - it is therefore difficult to understand how an electrical system is functioning or if it is safe to work on. Therefore the most important tool when working with electricity is a multimeter, which enables users to measure the voltage, current, resistance, and conductivity of electrical systems.

Multimeter categories

Multimeters are rated into different categories that classify the multimeters ability to handle
