Measurements

Multirange Meter

  • A wide range of analogue and digital multi range meters (multimeters) are available to typically measure a.c. and d.c. voltage in a series of steps up to around 1kV, d.c current to 500mA, with a 10A input, while the better models would also measure a.c. current to 10A
  • In addition the multimeter will measure reasistance to several MΩ
  • Some will allow measurement of transistor static current gain
  • Unlike digital meters, analogue meters are polarity sensitive
