2. Electrical outlet tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_outlet_tester

   A receptacle tester being used to check for some types of improper wiring of an outlet. For this particular tester, proper wiring is indicated by the two yellow lights. The outlet tester checks that each contact in the outlet appears to be connected to the correct wire in the building's electrical wiring. It can identify several common wiring ...

3. Current clamp - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_clamp

   Meters which respond to true RMS rather than mean current are described as "true RMS". Typical hand-held Hall effect units can read currents as low as 200 mA, and units that can read down to 1 mA are available. The Columbia tong test ammeter (illustrated) is an example of the iron vane type, used for measuring large AC currents up to 1000 amperes.

5. Current sensing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Current_sensing

   The design of the saturable inductor current sensor is similar to that of a closed-loop Hall-effect current sensor; the only difference is that this method uses the saturable inductor instead of the Hall-effect sensor in the air gap. Saturable inductor current sensor is based on the detection of an inductance change. The saturable inductor is ...

   Socket connector for another item not P or J, paired with the letter symbol for that item (XV for vacuum tube socket, XF for fuse holder, XA for printed circuit assembly connector, XU for integrated circuit connector, XDS for light socket, etc.) X, XTAL, Y: Crystal, ceramic resonator, powered oscillator: ZD: Zener diode: often changed to "D ...

7. Ammeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammeter

   Demonstration model of a moving iron ammeter. As the current through the coil increases, the plunger is drawn further into the coil and the pointer deflects to the right. An ammeter (abbreviation of ampere meter) is an instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are measured in amperes (A), hence the name. For direct ...
