When measuring an unknown voltage with a multitester or analog VOM you should first?
Go to highest scale on AC range
What is an analog multitester?
And analog multi-tester will have a meter, battery, and switch. The meter is the part that can show the conversion of analog to digital or simply act as an analog display. The battery is the power source and the switch is the part that allows you to select the specific function of the multi-tester.
How do you check field-effect transistor using analoge multitester?
There is no simple way to test FETs with either analog or digital multimeters. Bipolar transistors can be tested to see if their junctions are OK but they can also have failures that cannot be detected with a multimeter.
