    Cos Phi Meter: Measures the power factor Distortionmeter: Measures the distortion added to a circuit Electricity meter: Measures the amount of energy dissipated ESR meter: Measures the equivalent series resistance of capacitors Frequency counter: Measures the frequency of the current Leakage tester: Measures leakage across the plates of a ...

  3. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    Analog meter movements are inherently more fragile physically and electrically than digital meters. Many analog multimeters feature a range switch position marked "off" to protect the meter movement during transportation which places a low resistance across the meter movement, resulting in dynamic braking. Meter movements as separate components ...
