How to use a Multimeter: The Ammeter - Purkeys

Multimeters are devices that combine multiple eletrical measurement functions in one unit. These instruments typically measure voltage, electric current and resistance. In order to get the most from a multimeter, you have to understand the readings it gives you.

Sales and Service Engineer Larry Rambeaux demonstrates how to use an ammeter and how it applies to every day electrical diagnostics. Before you can accurately use a multimeter, you have to understand what is being measured.

Purkeys has developed multiple training programs to help technicians better understand the proper use of a multimeter. Learn more about Purkeys' training programs by clicking here.
