What does an anologue meter measure?

An analogue meter can measure volts, amps, ohms, and similar things. It simply shows the measurement as a rotating needle rather than a digital display.


When using a digital multimeter to measure ohms the meter display is OL. what does this indicate?

When a digital multimeter displays "OL" while measuring resistance in ohms, it indicates an overload condition, meaning the resistance is too high to be measured by the meter. This typically occurs when the resistance is infinite, such as in an open circuit. In essence, it signifies that there is no continuity or that the component being tested is non-conductive.


How Countiniuty check by ohmeter?

Continuity means a direct connection or low Ohms or zero Ohms. A wire and switch will read from 0 to 0.1 Ohms on a perfect meter. A light bulb might read 1 to 10 Ohms, as example. First, to see if the meter is working properly: To check how the meter reads continuity and see how to interpret, touch the probes together and note the reading. This is the reading you should see when testing the circuit if you have good continuity. Safety!: Never test continuity or ohms on a circut that has power energized. The meter can be destroyed internally, or even explode if Ohms function is used on high voltages. Now, a couple ways to check: 1.) DIGITAL METER: Put the ohm meter on the lowest Ohms scale, usually will be "200". If the meter does not have several separate Ohms switch positions, it might be an "auto-range" kind. In that case, just set it to Ohms. 2.) ANALOG METER: Put the ohm meter on the lowest Ohms scale, usually will be "RX1". Some inexpensive analog meters have only one range, so just select the Ohms function, or plug the probe into the Ohms jack. Put the probes to what you want to measure. the reading should be zero if measuring continuity. In some cases, the digital meter may indicate between 00.0 and 00.6 Ohms, this is normal because even the wires and probes have some resistance. The lower, the better. Note that very inexpensive analog meters cannot read Ohms this low accurately, but you can tell if the continuity is good or not, because it will read "0" or very close to that.


What is the meter reading for a forward biased diode is likely to be when using the diode test range of a digital multimeter?

A: Nobody can answer that. It depends on the diode, battery on the meter, scale of the meter. It should never read zero or close to zero ohms and reversing the lead it should just be close to open but it may read some hi k ohms. A meter test is just to find shorted diodes and extremely leaking diode.


How do you measure the resistance of a 30-amp cartridge fuse in ohms?

Set a Volt-Ohm meter to Ohms and put the two leads from meter across the fuse. One on each end where the metal is located. The meter should read zero ohms if the fuse is NOT blown.


How can the terminals of the diode be identified using the ohmmeter?

More commonly, the RED probe is on the banded (cathode) end of a diode, when the meter reads. You can also use a high ohms range (try around 200K) with a digital ohmmeter, not all have a specific "diode" setting. So test the meter first with a known marked diode, one that has a band on 1 end. You should get a reading with the probes around 1 way, and not the other. The probe on the banded end when the meter reads is the negative lead. Usually, that's the red one. So testing future diodes, if the meter reads, the red is the cathode of the diode. The polarity of the voltage appearing between the probes of digital and most analogue meters is opposite. The red lead of a digital meter is positive on the ohms ranges, while on most analogue meters the red lead is negative on the ohms ranges.
