While using a digital multimeter to diagnose electrical problems on customers’ equipment, I frequently hear the comment, “I’ve got one of those multimeter things, but I never learned how to use it.” ...

I'm having problem with a starter motor on a riding mower, and need to check if the motor is getting juice and not working or if something else isn't working and no juice is getting to the starter.

As the primary switching device used in a broad range of power conversion applications, MOSFETs play a central role in power supply design. Defining their performance characteristics is crucial to ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

You can use a multimeter with capacitance-measurement capability to measure the length of wire or cable to an open circuit. The capacitance of a pair of wires (or a wire to a shield) is directly ...

All, I posted this at DIYMA, and didn't get too may helpful responses, so figured I'd ask the Hive Mind. Back in the '90s, I used to set amp gains by turning the level pot all the way up and then ...
