Troubleshooting refrigeration equipment often requires measuring various electrical properties such as voltages, current flows, and resistances. Understanding these basic electrical fundamentals and ...

Understanding the causes, similarities, and differences between current and voltage distortion will help you pinpoint most power quality problems. When a writer or speaker mentions harmonic distortion ...

Let's start with DC voltage, one of the simplest and most-used multimeter measurements. The DC voltage measurement is used to determine the difference in electrical potential between two points in a ...

You've heard it before: current kills. Image source: YouTube. As an electrical engineer, you’re likely familiar with the safety tip that goes, “It’s not the voltage that kills you, it’s the current.” ...

Modern digital multimeters (DMMs) are user-friendly, accurate, and safe — when used correctly! Reading voltage is simple, but measurements must be properly interpreted. With a clamp-on DMM, accurate ...

Testing power supplies and batteries requires current loads capable of sinking large current and dissipating substantial amounts of power. A simple but accurate current load can be built using just a ...
