Course: Electricity III (17102-III) > Section: Using Tools and Materials

Use should include

- selecting, setting, and adjusting a meter for a specified test or measurement (e.g., voltage, amperage, resistance, megger [i.e., megohmmeter], continuity)
- reading scales on digital and analog meters.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What common types of meters are used in the electricity trade? What do they measure?
- Why is it important to have the meter set to the proper function before taking a reading?
- Why should the meter leads be inspected before taking a reading?
- Why should one know the voltage ratings of the meter?
