Digital Multimeter
Digital Multimeter:
IMPORTANT: Always follow the manufacturers recommendation when checking for current. All multimeters have a maximum current rating, do not exceed this rating. Not all multimeters contain a fuse that protects the multimeter from damage if a larger current draw is experienced. So be careful when checking for current draw.
A digital multimeter performs all the tests that a test light can perform, with a greater degree of accuracy. In addition, a multimeter can be used to test for current flow in a circuit.
