A general method for measuring AC high voltages is to use a voltage divider, with two resistors in series. The resistors are selected so across one of the elements is some arbitrary fraction (like ...

The first time I was in school for electrical engineering (long story), I had a professor who had never worked in the industry. I was in her class and the topic of the day was measuring AC waveforms.

Multimeters. They've been described as the tape measure of the new millennium. But what exactly is a digital multimeter (DMM) and what can you do with it? How do you make measurements safely? What ...

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 ...

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...
