2. Multimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

   Any meter will load the circuit under test to some extent. For example, a multimeter using a moving coil movement with full-scale deflection current of 50 microamps (μA), the highest sensitivity commonly available, must draw at least 50 μA from the circuit under test for the meter to reach the top end of its scale. This may load a high ...

3. Portable appliance testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_appliance_testing

   This test is performed using an insulation resistance test meter, or PAT tester, by applying a nominal voltage to the live conductors (line and neutral) of an appliance, and placing 0 volt reference on the earthed parts of a Class I appliance or the external metal parts of a Class II appliance;

4. 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 ...

5. Electrical isolation test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_isolation_test

   In electrical engineering, an electrical isolation test is a direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) resistance test that is performed on sub-systems of an electronic system to verify that a specified level of isolation resistance is met. Isolation testing may also be conducted between one or more electrical circuits of the same ...

6. Limit switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_switch

   A limit switch with a roller-lever operator; this is installed on a gate on a canal lock, and indicates the position of a gate to a control system A limit switch mounted on a moving part of a bridge In electrical engineering , a limit switch is a switch operated by the motion of a machine part or the presence of an object.

7. Electrical safety testing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_safety_testing

   Live testing. Earth fault loop impedance testing: this test is to check that if a fault did occur, that the system meets requirements to cause a disconnection of the supply within the time limit specified by standards Insulation resistance testing Polarity test: a test to check that the connections are connected in the right sequence

8. Source measure unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_measure_unit

   I and V sweeping—Sweep capabilities offer a way to test devices under a range of conditions with different source, delay and measure characteristics. These can include fixed level, linear/log and pulsed sweeps. On-board processor—Some SMUs further improve instrument integration, communication and test time by adding an on-board script ...

9. ESR meter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESR_meter

   Measuring ESR can be done by applying an alternating voltage at a frequency at which the capacitor's reactance is negligible, in a voltage divider configuration. It is easy to check ESR well enough for troubleshooting by using an improvised ESR meter comprising a simple square-wave generator and oscilloscope, or a sinewave generator of a few tens of kilohertz and an AC voltmeter, using a known ...
