How Do You Check Continuity And Take Ohm Readings?
Multi-testers – How to Check Continuity and Take Ohm Readings Monday November 3, 2008If you’ve ever had a switch, fuse, or other device that quit working and you wondered why, try using a multi-tester to check it out. By turning the setting to ohms, you can check for continuity and see what the value of resistance is. Sometimes electrical connections become corroded and the resistance climbs. This in turn heats up the connection and usually causes an increase in amperage, causing the use to blow or breaker to trip. These connections are dangerous and should be cleaned or replaced. Things like fuses will have little or no resistance when you read the resistance through them. A
