A digital multimeter (DMM) is one of the most useful test instruments in any automotive electrician's tool kit. Every DMM is slightly different but there are some general guidelines you can follow for its use. An old analog voltmeter will work too but be careful of polarity when using one ...
Test for a Short Circuit to Ground Turn off all power sources to the machine that houses the servo motor. Check T1, T2, T3 (all three-phase) to the ground wire with a megaohm meter. Begin by placing the positive lead of the meter onto T1 and the negative lead of the meter to grou...
Testing voltage follows a simple process. For those of you new to electrical testing, we asked our resident Pro how they might teach an apprentice how to use a multimeter or voltmeter. Once you know how to use a multimeter, you can move on totroubleshooting and fixing electrical problems, v...
This month, I am delighted to celebrate the one-year anniversary of "Static Beat," which first appeared in the May 2009 issue of PFFC. For many, static electricity is a mystery. From my perspective, electrostatics is a fascinating and interesting topic that is governed by the fundamental ...
You can conduct two other voltage tests on a 12V battery that powers a motorcycle or lawn mower. To do this, you'll need alligator clips on the voltmeter leads or a helper. To test starting voltage, connect the battery cables, then hold the leads on the terminals while you start the ig...
There are two ways to check a light socket with a voltmeter. The first is to check the voltage. You can do this with the power on and the bulb removed. The second way is to test continuity or resistance. For this test, the power must be off and the light
How to measure voltage with a tester - choose the voltage (unit "V") parameter, then insert the test leads (black and red). Connect to a circuit and read the value.
A multimeter is a measurement tool absolutely necessary in electronics. It combines three essential features: a voltmeter, ohmeter, and ammeter, and in some cases continuity. A multimeter allows you to understand what is going on in your circuits. Whenever something in your circuit isn’t working...

of a good battery, while a 12.3 V charge means that your battery is 75% charged. Anything below 11.8 volts means your battery is low in charge and working at 25%. Using a voltmeter is not the best method for getting an accurate result though – you need to test the battery under ...
