Here is why you should know the different types of electrical testing equipment?
Do you know how vital is the electrical testing equipment? There are several experiments which depend on the work of electrical testing equipment. But what are these?
The instruments which are used to find out the minor faults of the electrical and electronic devices so that they help in finding out the results of the experiments falls under this category. They create stimulus signals and then they catch the responses of those stimuli signals. Also, if they find any faults in the device, they repair it immediately. This is also known as maintaining and troubleshooting method of repairing a device so that the devices function in a proper way. Thus, these instruments are helpful in analyzing the conditions in which the devices work properly and give the results we want. Various industries use different types of testing gear.
Here are some of the common ones you can come across in any electrical lab or factory:
~ Voltmeter:
This is the most basic kind of this devices. it is again of two types. One is the Analog, and the other being digital. It measures the unknown input voltage and then displays us on the LCD screen. Also, the electricians and the repair persons can use this to measure the voltage on transmission lines and other power distribution methods.
~ Multimeters:
These are the next interesting testing instrument is the Multimeter of course. They are commonly used to measure current, resistance and also voltage. They are of digital, analog types. But the most popular and preferred ones are Digital multimeters.
~ Ohmmeters and Microohmeters:
These tiny and power packed machines measure the resistance of a device. Also, these measure the electric current of various devices using the help of galvanometer. A microometer is also called ad DLRO (digital low resistance ohmmeter). This equipment measures the low resistance values in micro-ohms. These are helpful in the industry if you require very high accuracy.
Thus these are some of the most common mentioned in the physics lab & electronics field industries. There are many others like galvanometer, ammeter, motor testing equipment. If you want your experiments to be successful, you need to use these devices so as to make your experiment or the product a success. Thus, the reason why you need to know all the different kinds of measuring instruments available.
