'Loading effect' applies to voltmeters, or to multimeters when set to measure voltage. It describes the change in a circuit's resistance when the resistance of the voltmeter is taken into account. It's effect is to cause the resulting measuredvoltage to be different from the actual voltage which would appear without the voltmeter connected. The loading effect is minimised by ensuring that the internal resistance of the voltmeter is significantly higher than the resistance of that part of the circuit to which it is connected. For general voltage measurement, this is usually the case anyway, but when measuring circuits which, themselves, have very high resistance care must be taken over the choice of voltmeter to be used.

How do you read the hfe scales in the analog multimeter?

Hfe is an empirical value it means nothing unless a load is considered. the meter probably does not provide the proper loading so why measure it?


How can you test a battery?

You can test a battery by using multimeter. Set the multimeter to the DC voltmeter setting and then place the leads of the multimeter across the leads of the battery. the multimeter will have a readout of the voltage.

What are the types of multi tester?

A Multimeter is an electronic instrument, every electronic technician and engineer’s widely used piece of test equipment. A multimeter is mainly used to measure the three basic electrical characteristics of voltage, current, and resistance. There are two types of multimeters: Analog Multimeter: The Analog Multimeter or VOM (Volt-Ohm-Milliammeter) is constructed using a moving coil meter and a pointer to indicate the reading on the scale. Digital Multimeter: We mostly used a multimeter is a digital multimeter (DMM). The DMM performs all functions from AC to DC other than analog. It has two probes positive and negative indicated with black and red color as shown in the figure. there are some best multimeters for HVAC.

Why does your 120 outlet measure 49 volts when you test it with a multimeter?

Either the supply or the multimeter is faulty.


Why does the multimeter show the RMS value of sine wave but not for the triangular wave?

Because your multimeter is not an adequate device for this kind of measurement. Use the correct multimeter to display the triangular wave value.
