You need to make a complete circuit to test continuity. If the transformer neutral is grounded then you can use just one end of a wire. Measure the wire end to ground will check continuity of the wire. The reading will follow the wire back to the ground point of the transformer there by forming a circuit that can be measured as open or closed. Using this procedure, the power can be shut off and the reading will be taken using the meters power.

What type of electrosurgery using a wire loop electrode to cut tissue?
electrosection
What is difference between induced voltage and induced current?
Just as a current flowing through a wire will produce a magnetic field, so a wire moving through a magnetic field will have a current flowing through it. This is called electromagnetic induction and the current in the wire is called induced current. A stationary wire in the presence of a changing magnetic field also has an induced current. A changing magnetic field can be produced either by moving a magnet near to the stationary wire or by using alternating current. A stationary wire in a magnetic field which is not changing will have no current induced in it. You will sometimes see this effect described as induced voltage. Strictly speaking, you will only get an induced current in the wire if it is part of a complete circuit. A wire which is unconnected at both ends will have a difference in voltage between the ends (a potential difference) but current can only flow when the wire is in a circuit. Induced current is used in electricity generation and transformers.Another AnswerThere is no such thing as an 'induced current', only an 'induced voltage'. Current will flow only if the conductor into which the voltage is induced forms part of a closed circuit.
What wire should you use for your 2500 watt inverter?
To answer this question have to know the voltage you are using.
How can i put my 2002 5.3 into my airboat?
You can put your 2002 5.3 into your airboat using a Drive by wire.
How do you know if the fusible link is fried?
check out this link http://autorepair.about.com/library/faqs/bl962.htm the easiest way to test your idea is to get two pieces of wire and put a fuse between them so that the fuse will take the load if there is a problem ,then check the link you suspect to be faulty first put one end of the made up wire where the link gets its power then put the other end of the madeup wire to where ever the power should be going by doing this you will bypass the fusable link as for now it will be supplied power from the new made up wire if the item works its the link if it makes no difference this is not the problem area good luck Usualy a fuseable link that is fried will feel hard and not flexable. A continuty tester is the best way of testing it. Get a dvm volt meter. Measure it with a meter. It is the only way to tell for sure. good now for a quick check ...pull some in the fuseable link with your two fingers....if it streches it's shot...if it breacks looose it was making a bad connection and is bad any way....this is as quick of a test when you have just your brains to figure how to check circuits and parts. note. now what do you use to replace a fuseable link when you don't have one availaible? i know lets see if anyone else knows......
The will measure resistance only?
The ohmmeter is usually used to measure the resistance of a given wire only.
How do you measure amps from a 3 phase motor?
thong each wire using amp meter
How can you measure resistance by using resistance thermometer?
You use an ohmeter. It sends current through the wire to determine value.
Viva questions on Carey foster bridge?
we can measure the resistance of the given wire using the carey foster bridge / ?
How can measure nutral and earthing wire?
Nutral wire can be measured by using clamp meter, if there is a current passing through the wire, we got a reading in the clamp meter i.e. 2A. If we clamp the earth wire by the clamp meter the reading will be zero.
What is the measure of the voltage decrease along a wire?
Decrease or reduction of voltage along the wire is called voltage drop. It is measure through wire and load resistance difference.
Why the metal strip should be flat or wire be kink free in screw gauge?
if the strip will flat we can measure its thickness easily but if it is not flat i.e. its surface is irregular then it will thick only from some points and its other area will be thin and we cannot measure its thickness easily.same is the reason for wire.
How do you calculate the area of the wire?
You Measure It.
What are the advantages of using plastic wire?
Plastic wire is much cheaper than using regular metal wire. Another advantage of using plastic wire is that it is much safer and better for the environment.
Does an iron wire convert heat to electrical energy?
Iron wire is a conductor of heat/electricity only and it is impossible to convert heat to electrical energy by using it.
How do you you measure the thickness of a thin wire?
To measure the thickness of a thin piece of wire we have got the instrument called the wire gauge. The thickness of a thin piece of wire is measured in mm.
How do you test the cyp 98 Honda civic ex?
Using a multimeter, measure the resistance across the yellow wire and ground. It should be between 300 and 700 ohms.
