What is tower footing resistance?
footing resistance is that resistance which could not harm human body while touching tower...and it is calculated by earth resistance tester
What instrument would you use to test for an open circuit?
The general answer is that a continuity tester is used to check for an open circuit.
Which of the following instruments can detect the presence of a voltage but not the voltage level a. clamp type meter b. wattmeter c. multitester d. neon circuit tester?
D. Neon circuit tester. Page # 59 in your book.
How electric tester works?
There are many types of electric testers in use. One kind is a two contacts tester where there will be two connecting leads and one or more neon lamps to indicated the presence and approximate magnitude of test voltage. Here one contact is placed on the wire to be tested and the other lead is placed on the reference level like ground or other circuit parts. Another kind is a one contact tester which usually is in the form of a screw driver. The end portion is placed in contact with the wire to be tested and the back of the tester is touched by a body part. A neon lamp inside the transparent tester body will glow if the wire is live. The lamp needs only very little electric current to glow that, it uses the capacitance and resistance of the human body to complete the circuit by making a current flow to the ground.
What is electrical shock sensation?
It is the hard way finding out that the electrical circuit is still energized. It is much easier on the body if a tester is used to check for voltage before any work is started on any electrical circuit.
What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
What is v. o.m.tester?
V. O. M. Tester refers to a Volt-Ohm-Meter (VOM) tester, which is a device used to measure electrical quantities such as voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit. It typically has multiple functions and settings to allow for various measurements.
Where can one purchase a circuit tester?
A circuit tester can be purchased at your local hardware store, for example Ace, Home Depot, and Lowe's. If you want to shop for it online, the circuit tester can be bought on the stores' websites along with sites like Amazon and eBay.
What does green light mean on circuit tester?
it works
How do a circuit tester works?
by sending electricity through them
What is tower footing resistance?

How do you identify the polarity of a diode when the tester is on resistance scale?
ln reverse biase high resistance and in forward biase very low resistance
What is LAN tester?
A LAN tester is a circuit used to check the LAN cables. They run for approximately $41.00 in most electronic stores.
How is an ohmmeter connected to a circuit?
ANY METER needs some kind of current flow to operate. Internal in the meter there are batteries that provide current that when passed trough a resistor will develop voltage as a function of the current. the meter will read this current and display the resistor size to cause this current to flow.
What problems can you see in using an AC circuit transistor tester?

What instrument would you use to test for an open circuit?
The general answer is that a continuity tester is used to check for an open circuit.
What does it mean when the circuit tester light does not come on when touching the black and white wires?
It could mean two things. The first thing would be that the tester is not working. Test on a circuit that you know to be energized. The second thing causing a tester not to light is that the circuit under test is de energized. When using these types of testers always test the black to white wire and then black to ground wire. If the tester indicates there is a voltage to ground and not the white then the neutral white wire is open somewhere in the circuit.
