A multimeter.
Digital multimeters (DMMs) These tools are very good for measuring specific values such as voltage, amperage, resistance and pulse width
Oh, dude, you're asking about a multimeter! It's like a Swiss Army knife for electricians - it can measure voltage, resistance, and current in a circuit. So, if you're into that whole "testing electrical stuff" scene, a multimeter is your go-to tool.
open circuit & short circuit test, insulation resistance test, turns ratio, efficiency, if it is oil cooled then breakdown voltage of oil, voltage regulation and definitely visual inpection...
The formula to calculate the amperage of a ring in magnetic particle testing is Amperage = Voltage / Resistance, where Voltage is the potential difference across the ring and Resistance is the total resistance of the ring. The amperage determines the magnetic field strength generated by the ring to magnetize the test specimen for detecting any discontinuities.
To test a circuit with a multimeter, set the multimeter to the appropriate setting (voltage, resistance, or continuity), connect the probes to the circuit's components, and read the measurement displayed on the multimeter. Make sure the circuit is not powered on when testing for resistance or continuity.
A voltage drop test measures the amount of voltage lost as electricity flows through a circuit. It is performed by connecting a voltmeter to different points in the circuit and comparing the readings to determine if there is excessive resistance causing a voltage drop.
Increase the resistance (ohms) Decrease the voltage (Volts)
Open circuit means the circuit is not continuous . A short circuit is continuous but has a fault connecting between either live to neutral or earth .As result of this we saw that this answer is unsufficent to explain short and open circuit on the other hand you can use this answer also like i did:)
On a hand crank megger which is used to test insulation breakdown, use the 300V setting. If the megger does not have that setting use 500V as opposed to 1000V for the test. The output of the megger is a DC voltage.

Do not add any unwanted device in the circuit. Have correct sized wire for the application and the load current.
It depends on the meter. Generally they test amperage, voltage and resistance. Some also test diodes and and various other electrical properties. How it is done is called electrical theory and is far too large a subject to cover here.
