Multimeters

Multimeters are a type of instrument used to measure electric currents, voltage and resistence, over several ranges of values. There are analog or digital options depending on the type of circuit being used. Most are hand held devices which are very handy to detect faults. They are an important tool for an electrician that can help to troubleshoot electrical issues on applicances, circuits, power supplies and wiring systems. Multimeters are key for recording alternating voltage, direct voltage, currents either alternating or direct, resistance in Ohms, Capacity (farads), conductance (Siemens), Decibels, Duty cycle, Frequency, Inductance and temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
