Multimeter

AKA: Digital Multimeter

WARNING:

Multimeters can be damaged, or cause damage, if operated incorrectly. Always ensure correct polarity of probes and correct settings for the job at hand. High voltage applications are clearly marked and should not be used for long periods. Check the instructions that came with your meter to ensure safe use.

Information

A multimeter can test circuits for electrical load and resistance, helping to diagnose electrical faults. While there are many functions, you will usually find only one or two useful. To explain all functions here wouldn't be practical. Instead, please see the instructional video below and if needed, check further instructions online.

"Educational, Inspirational And Very Funny"

I've had the privilege of following Burtman.net, over the years, with all the exciting things it's been adding. I enjoy the stories while sipping endless cups of tea, as I've learned from Burtman. I love diving into his ridiculous scenarios and getting infected by his road trip religion. Everything's accessible and relatable (even technical stuff) and shows how making mistakes leads to learning. I'm inspired by that. I'm always left with a big smile on my face and I always want to return. - Natku
