A voltmeter should be connected to the circuit being tested


Asked by wiki @ in Engineering viewed by 583 People


Voltage drop testing is being discussed.

Technician A connects the red voltmeter lead to the most positive side of the circuit being tested and the black lead to the most negative side or part of the circuit being tested. Technician B says the test must be conducted with the circuit operating with normal amounts of current. Who is correct?

Answered by wiki @



Answer:

Technician B only is correct

Explanation:

Voltage drop testing is a method used to find the amount of electrical resistance available in an high amperage circuit that involves connecting the leads of the meter in parallel to the circuits being tested such that disassembly is not required

In voltage drop test, the red voltmeter lead and black voltmeter lead are placed at two points on the same side of the circuit connection such that the leads are in between two positive connection or two negative connection (rather than connecting the red to the positive and the black to the negative sides of the circuit) and digital voltmeter is used for the voltage drop measurement across the lead while the connection is under load.

Therefore, Technician B only is correct
