No it does not. A volt meter only reads the current that is passing through it.
AnswerAll instruments draw some (albeit tiny) current from the circuit under test in order to operate. So, if this is what you mean by 'taking power from circuit', then the answer is yes, it does.
Instruments also change the normal resistance of the circuit being tested -for example, ammeters increase the resistance of the circuit into which they are connected, while voltmeters decrease the circuit resistance across which they are connected. So adding a voltmeter (or an ammeter) to a circuit affects the operation of that circuit to some degree. To minimise this interference, it is important that an ammeter's internal resistance is very much lower than the circuit's resistance, and a voltmeter's resistance is very much higher than the circuit's resistance.

How do you test the power in a circuit?
A volt meter will do the job.
What is the difference between single phase and three phase voltage measurement?
Phasing, or the number of phases in an electrical system has nothing to do with the voltage. A single phase and three phase supply could have a voltage supply of any given voltage from virtually 0 to infinity. Most single phase power supplies in the US are 120/208-240 volt. Three phase power supplies are typically 120/208 to 277/480 volt.
How do you check an amp wire for power?
test light or volt meter
What should i set your meter to test a 12 volt car system?
Set your multimeter on the 20 Volt DC scale.
What is the role of power supply?
A computer power supply takes in electricity from it's source, we'll say for example a 120 volt wall outlet and then transforms it into the native 12 volt power usually required by system boards. It also provides other power leads as needed for devices, such as 3.3 volt for smaller devices, controllers and the like, and 5 volt for a CD-rom drive or hard drive? A good power supply also cleans up the power some and takes the brunt of all fluctuations in the source power. Hope this helps!
What color is power in the radio?
Normally red. Check the wires with a volt meter to be sure.
How do you get the best cranking power from a 12 volt system?
To get the best cranking power from a 12 volt system keep all of the terminations clean and corrosion free.
What does an error code no bus mean on a 2007 jeep compass?
The "bus" is the communication system for the computers. No bus means the system is not working. You need a scan tool, wiring diagrams, and a volt meter to diagnose.The "bus" is the communication system for the computers. No bus means the system is not working.

How do you measure the power by 3 voltmeter method?
first we connect the 3 volt meter in three loads then we measure the voltage and find the resistance of the loads then put the formula p=v/r so in this method we get the power by using 3 volt meter ....(prashant)
What damage can occur by jumping a 6 volt charging system with a 12 volt charging system?
If you jump a car or other vehicle with a 6 volt electrical system using a 12 volt battery, you can blow out the 6 volt battery. When they are connected, it usually only takes a fraction of a second to start the six volt system. There should be a person ready to start the 6 volt system immediately if not sooner so the 12 volt system can be disconnected immediately before the battery overheats and burns out.
What metric unit of measurement is used on a volt meter?
The volt.
What is the effect of volt drop below 216 volts - on a electric power meter therefore the power bill?
The power bill depends on the energy used, and if the voltage is low that will be sensed by the voltage coil in the meter, so it is all fair.
