How to use a clamp meter? You will need a clamp on meter specifically designed to measure AC power. To do so, you would have the clamp on the conductor, and the voltage probes connected to line (+) and neutral (-) simultaneously. If you just measure the voltage and current and multiply the two, the product […]
How are clamp on ammeters used? A clamp-on ammeter or simply a clamp meter’ is an instrument that is used to measure the current flowing through a conductor. An AC Clamp meter basically consists of a current transformer in its jaws, bar CT usually. Utilizing the principle of the current transformer, the reading will be […]
Top Best Circuit Breaker Finder Circuit breakers are the most common way to protect electrical systems from overloads But it can be difficult to identify which breaker controls what switches, outlets, or light fixtures (unless your circuit breaker box is mapped very carefully, which it rarely is). A circuit breaker finder makes it super […]
10 Types of Electrical Measuring Instruments Electricity is a flow that contains an electric charge and is related to physical phenomena. Until now, electricity had various purposes in supporting daily activities. In using electricity for your daily life, you need a device to measure electric voltage. This type of measuring instrument has a function to measure […]
TYPES OF ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS In this article, we will study ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS. So starting from basics, the question arises what are electrical instruments? Any instrument which is used to measure electrical quantities like current, voltage, electrical power, electrical energy, power factor, frequency etc. are called ELECTRICAL INSTRUMENTS. Now we will move on to the […]
Energy Meters The meter which is used for measuring the energy utilises by the electric load is known as the energy meter. The energy is the total power consumed and utilised by the load at a particular interval of time. It is used in domestic and industrial AC circuit for measuring the power consumption. Energy Meter Definition: The meter which is used for measuring the energy utilises by the electric load is known as […]
Resistance Meters Applications of Earth resistance meters General information on the extent of resistance grounding and Resistance Testers applications. Summarily presents some measurement concepts about grounding systems. A good grounding system is necessary to maintain the safety of persons working or in contact with the facilities and to maintain optimal operating conditions in the […]
Multimeters A multimeter or a multitester, also known as a VOM (volt-ohm-milliammeter), is an electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions in one unit. A typical multimeter can measure voltage, current, and resistance. Analog multimeters use a microammeter with a moving pointer to display readings. Multimeter Types and Applications Multimeter A Multimeter is an electronic instrument, every electronic technician and […]
Frequency Meters A frequency meter is an instrument that displays the frequency of a periodic electrical signal. Various types of frequency meters are used. Many are instruments of the deflection type, ordinarily used for measuring low frequencies but capable of being used for frequencies as high as 900 Hz. Frequency meter, device for measuring the repetitions per unit of time (customarily, a second) of […]
Voltage Meters A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring electric potential difference between two points in an electric circuit. It is connected in parallel. It usually has a high resistance so that it takes a negligible current from the circuit. Analog voltmeters move a pointer across a scale in proportion to the voltage of the circuit; digital voltmeters give a […]
