red
A: To begin with the leads polarity of the meter must be ascertain. Assuming the red is positive voltage then that lead will have a positive potential to check a diode connect the red lead to the anode and the black to the cathode and it should read some Resistance
Parts of a digital multimeter include an LCD display and range knob. There are also common ground, positive voltage terminal, and positive current terminal.
Put the black lead into any of the black connectors on the molex.put the read lead into the yellow, or red lead on the molex.
Besides not dropping it, you prevent damage to a multimeter by never connecting it to a circuit that it is not intended to measure. Two examples... If you are in a 0.6 milliamp range you would not want to connect the meter to a 6,000 volt focus pin in a television set. If you are in ohms mode, you would not want to connect the meter to a circuit that has voltage present.
If you're asking whether you have to connect the fixture ground to the house ground, you do. The idea is to connect any exposed portion of a metal fixture to ground, keeping anything you would be able to touch from having a hazardous potential on it. The way to do this is to connect the fixture ground (which is connected to the metal chassis) to the building ground (which comes from your electrical panel).
To check the IC by the multimeter, you have to make sure that the pointer points at the current. You can then connect the multimeter across the check the IC.
They are called test leads, you would use them to connect the multimeter to the points that are to be tested.

First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage
the motor should have two leads, usually a black and a white. connect the white to the fusebox and the black to a ground.
Get a multimeter and put it on the ohm setting. Touch the wire with one probe and the engine block with the other lead, if the meter reads anything but OL, it's shorted to ground.

A testing instrument that an electronics technician will connect to selected points is called a multimeter. A multimeter is used to detect electric current within wires and also helps to find shorts in electrical connections.
'com' is short for common. This is the ground connection.
Because to measure amperage you must connect the multimeter in series , in order to do so the circuit must be broken first. In the case with voltage measurements the multimeter probes must be connected in parallel which is far easier because connecting the multimeter this way the circuit will remain intact.
Parts of a digital multimeter include an LCD display and range knob. There are also common ground, positive voltage terminal, and positive current terminal.
If the service is connected you can not megger the service ahead of the main breaker. If the service is waiting for connection all you can do is megger between the wires. As the underground service is installed in PVC conduit, no ground circuit will be available between the underground conductors and the PVC conduit. Connect the black lead to the neutral bar in the meter base. Connect the other lead to the L1 lead and ring it. Do the same to the L2 lead. Then disconnect the lead from the neutral bar in the meter base and connect it to L1. Connect the other lead to L2 if it is not still connected from the last operation. Ring the line between L1 and L2. If you get a reading of infinity on all three tests then the service is good for connection.
