How to use digital multimeters to test voltage?
The method involved in testing voltage with digital multimeters is different from that of testing current. The first step involved in the same is to first determine whether the test is for AC or DC voltage. This is very important as it has a great impact on the dial setting. Te next step is to determine the appropriate range, set the range slightly higher than the expected result for accuracy. And yes always ensure to consult a manual before connecting test leads to the circuit. How to use digital multimeters to test current? For testing current, the digital multimeters should be used along with a clamp meter or clamp meter adapter. Then install the head of the meter around a conductor and once it is closed you can take the measurement. The current clamp adapter makes taking measurements easy as it has the capability to convert the results into voltage. But before that all you have to do is set the function as if conducting an AC voltage test and set the range to millivolts. And lo, yo
