Do you know if you can measure amps if you short the coil? would that not show the maximum amps out put? - i tryed it with my generator an i had an amp reading. does that normally happen? i use a digital meter
Hi and thanx .i still have to think when i use my new digital meter !! These vids grind into my brain the advanced testing availability of these meters.
Hi Im really new to this but i am very interested in these things. I have a really nooby question. If i want to test the electrical components such as resistors,capacitors,etc on a pcb board or a device that doesnt work, do i have to manually remove every resistor/capacitor/etc, and test it individually?!?!? or Can i simplify it by test continuity in the circuit and sort of pinpoint where that fault can be?? Or What would be the easist way without having to remve every component out to test it?
@FunkyMexicanBassist You can check if the appliance is shorted out, but yes, to accurately measure capacitors, resistors, diodes or anything else they have to be removeed.
There are ways to figure out what components are actually bruken, some are more likely to break than others, and sometimes you can figure it out by in what way the thing broke.
Can I get an amp or current reading for an AC load if my multimeter only has DC amp selections? Cause I'm not getting a reading...
