Basics of Voltage Regulator

Voltage Regulator The 78XX series of linear voltage regulators provide positive fixed output voltages for a range of values. The

A multimeter can be used as a fast and simple way to check a diode out of the circuit. A good

Clamp Meters using Current Transformer for AC Measurement Current transformer clamp meters are equipped with rigid jaws of made of

A digital multimeter is essentially a voltage-measuring tool with some current abilities. A clamp meter is basically a current-measuring tool

Accuracy: An instrument’s degree of veracity—how close its measurement comes to the actual or reference value of the signal being measured.

A clamp meter is an electrical test tool that combines a basic digital multimeter with a current sensor. Clamps measure

Duty cycle basics Duty cycle is the ratio of time a load or circuit is ON to the time a

Continuity Testing using Multimeter Turn the dial to Continuity Test mode ( ). It will likely share a spot on

1. Turn the dial to ṽ. Some digital multimeters (DMMs) also include m ṽ . If voltage in the circuit

If your digital multimeter offers a frequency setting (Hz is the symbol) on the dial: Turn the dial to Hz.
