Multimeter Tutorial - Solar Schoolhouse

[wherezmybailout]

Good job...I just wasted a lot of time reading all kinds of nonsense about trying to measure the panel and this was just the right info. Thanks

[imthechandyman]

how about measuring amps in aclternating current?

[petzl990]

I have same multimeter! =P thanks for the great video

[MaN1aC666]

Thx Verry good great help

Dude show something actually useful like how to test if wires in your house (lets say behind a thermostat that you want to replace) are hot still after you've turned off what you think are the right power switches on your house's power box. Showing how to use a multimeter with a battery or solar powered panel does me no good....I learn nothing that is practical to every day household maintenance here.

@marblemacchiatto

Test the wires as you would the solar panel or the battery. Be very careful and touch one probe to the ungrounded(usually black or red) wire and one to the grounding(bare copper) or grounded(white). If you are just testing for safety I would recommend getting a small non-contact voltage detector and using that. Remember to test it on a live circuit every time before you use it.

[solarschoolhouse]

if a solar cell is rated at 1V and 1Amp, this is the max it will read when the solar cell is facing directly at the sun. if you leave your solar cell fixed in one direction then the amp reading will be proportional to the amount of sunlight shining on the cell, which varies throughout the day.

[PiercingKnight]

so he got only 1.2 amps when supposed to get 2.1 amps. That is a huge difference. I guess you have to measure it when the sun is highest in the sky to get that reading, and it's the only time of the day that it will produce 2.1 amps. So even if solar cells are rated at lets say 4 amps, it means that 4 amps only for about 2 hours a day, 11am to 1pm, then it falls down like to 3 and 2 amps afterwards. Do I understand this right?

THANK YOU FINALLY A GOOD TUTORIAL NICE EXPLAINING

[cornishrob123]

Thanks top vid only ever used it for testing dc stuff ,top tips well done

[nomoreremakes]

OMG! Thank you sooo much for explaining what all that stuff meant!

[utkarshsood]

beautifully explained....sometimes i wonder how some of the most complex looking things turn out to be the simplest.

[infospill]

GOOD WORK!!!!!

[so1fia3]

thank you very much sir for posting this video............helps a lot :)

[acmetiger]

Thank you!!

[playmakerzam]

tnx!!!!

[flipblood]

this video really help!!! A++++

[Phyle9]

good explanation. thanks

[lortrek]

thanks ... instructive .. the close-ups of the meter could be improved

[RottenPotatoe]

Thanks - great tutorial

[ToneBoneBaby]

excellent crash/education multimeter course. Kudos.

[electro257]

is 0.7amps the same as 70milli amps?

[guy2weird]

700 milli amps

[zotos777]

This is actually very good..especially for people who know little or close to nothing about multimeters!

[polarbear60]

I benefited a lot from this video!

[living4fire]

Very informative video. Thank you ***** (Five Stars) from me.

[Medaka350]

Cool I got the same multimeter

[itmagik]

Nice ... You saved me from fock'in up my NEW Multimeter thank you A+ tut

[MilanoRedSI]

Thank you for this vid!

[AsianMeatBunBoy]

I want to thank you!

[260830107]

does the multimeter still run properly if the 9V battery in it is half dead?

[electricsilver]

excellent presentation. many thanks.

[johnking87]

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed to know :D

[vaguincolombia]

gracias for this video, i learned how to use my multimeter, thank you solar schoolhouse guys

[ssolkemserB]

Dosent say anything about mesureing Amps on i.e a circuitboard.. Wrong usage and de thing is dead!

[magareto]

thank you. well explained! Brilliantly presented

[Vantria1]

Hi,

My name is Joya, and I live in Virginia State, I am really interested to learn more about the solar energy, I mean to learn more depth with more detail "professional level. Is there any class or any book or video to teach me how to become a solar expert? Please, Please, I need your advice.

With Regards

Joya

[kontakos]

Great nice and clear explanation on using the multimeter. Thanks you.

[boxiness]

this is awesome

[soulsurfereverafter]

terrific!!!!!!!!!thank you so much for posting this.

[forestartist]

Solar Schoolhouse? Brilliant idea; great presentations, and THANK YOU.
