This multimeter add-on is called the Half Ohm. It allows you to measure small resistance values, and can be used to track down shorts on a PCB. The board acts as a pass-through for both probes. When ...

A multimeter and its test leads allow electrical workers to reach into an energized panel, touch live circuit components with the end of the test leads, and capture electrical readings like voltage, ...

Measuring the electrical resistance (ohms) of motors, compressors, and other electrical devices in HVAC systems may seem straightforward. But when the measurements of zero (0) or “OL” (overload) come ...

Last week, I stepped through the basics of automotive electrical circuits, explained how electrical current needs to flow ...

When a voltage is applied to a material or device,current will flow through it. How much current will flow is based on theresistance that the material applies to a circuit. The resistance of a ...

This is a scratch-build meter for measuring the internal resistance of Lithium Polymer cells. [Bleuer Csaba] uses the LiPo cells for RC vehicles and thet take quite a beating from the motors they’re ...

Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...
