How Do You Use A Volt-Ohm Meter Safely?
Save yourself time and money by purchasing a volt-ohm meter. Volt-ohm meters are used to find electrical malfunctions in your home. Electricians use them all the time; so why not save yourself the money of hiring one by learning how to use one of these meters safely. Read on to learn more. Test devices in your home with an analog volt-ohm meter. Analogs have the needle that makes it easy to detect the subtle fluctuations of devices. These meters also are available in digital–which are good. But the digital meters do not detect subtle fluctuations of voltage as it travels into the device. Volt-ohm meters test voltage, ohms and amps. Touch the two probes together prior to testing then “zero out” the meter for an accurate test. Test the resistance of devices by using the ohms scale on the meter which shows how devices conduct electricity. Test how much electrical current a device is using by utilizing the amp scale on the meter. Test the life of batteries safely by using a volt-ohm meter
