A multimeter and its test leads allow electrical workers to reach into an energized panel, touch live circuit components with the end of the test leads, and capture electrical readings like voltage, ...

Back in the early days of electricity, lab workers could measure electric current in a circuit using an ammeter (galvanometer) and voltage using a voltmeter. From there, they could calculate ...

Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...

Ever wondered how engineers inspect capacitors, resistors, and inductors? The solution is frequently in a device known as an LCR meter. The tool is quite valuable since it measures three significant ...

Occasionally, we find fun new electronic instruments in the wild and can’t resist sharing them with our readers. The item in question is the FNIRSI HRM-10 Internal resistance meter, which we show here ...
