But how do you use a DVM meter to find a 3 phase system of which phase#1 which is phase#2 and which is phase#3? because all the 3 phase AC voltages will measure 120vac but how to tell which is phase1,2,3?
NICE AWES0ME🎉✨🎉✨🎉🎉🎎🎭🎎🎭🎎🎭🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎗🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑✨🎆
You guys did a video on a supermarket ventilation system. Can you do one on a ventilation system for a virology lab? Perhaps one where you describe what happens when maintenance budgets are gutted and things like HEPA filters are not changed when indicated? My contention all along has been that COV 19 was a result of non-conformance with the lab designers' specifications. I think that's what happened in China. Can you guys do a work-up on what a lab like this requires in terms of maintenance?
time stamps would be great!
Paid & downloaded 🙌 😎
Been looking on Amazon for a decent multimeter book, most were of poor quality photos. Thank you
This isn't a tutorial how to use a multimeter....... THIS IS MOST OF THE ESSENTIAL INFORMATION ON PROPERLY HANDLING ELECTRICITY/ELECTRONICS AND I'M GRATEFUL BECAUSE EVERYONE NEEDS THIS.
This video is super amazing!!
Yep it's good
I also believe that everyone working with voltages or devices that could cause serious injury should have the mindset that their multimeter is an essential piece of safety gear instead of just thinking of it as another tool.
This video is excellent
YES ITS GOOD
Seriously spent 2-years trying to figure this out as hobbiest. Much appreciated for making this!
Same with me. This video is a godsend.
This is gold! Would love a fault finding with a multi meter in a control panel video. Thanks for this video 👍🏻
Good idea, I'll see what I can do
Ah definitely, great idea
@@EngineeringMindset Great, thanks again 🙂
@@EngineeringMindset this would be useful, because during this tutorial I learned that between the left terminal and the ground/botto (US) plug, there was current. Like, 121V
@@emmanuelleallen You would get 120V to ground, potential, that is what it is there for… That is, so you don’t become the path for current to follow, although the breaker should trip due to the short or ground fault interrupt should kick in…
The absolute best instruction on a meter I've ever seen.
Hey Engineering Mindset. Just wanted to say I seriously love this video. I'm starting from the absolute beginning and your tutorial is easy to understand yet thorough. I was watching a tutorial from a different channel and I noticed the comments had some safety-related concerns so I searched again and found this. I feel like I'm learning an actual life skill. Not going to be an electrical engineer lol, but this will help to identify if* something is still live or reading correctly. Thank you all so much for making this
Loving you vids. I'm an IT guy and got into electrics a bit more recently since having solar panels. Now I am tinkering with changing lights etc in my workshop. Your series is brilliant for giving me the basics. I've now ordered a multimeter and bought your pdf - thank you
That is awesome!
I learnt more from this video than I have from every other video I’ve watched on the subject.
i am so happy you made this video. I'm a visual learner and the teacher wasn't showing us a single example for the entire 6 hr class. I was confused for so long on just trying to find the right signal to use
YES. I just splurged on the fanciest multimeter that I have ever owned and was about to look for some video walkthroughs about what I can do with it. This Old Tony made a great video about them years ago, but it left me with more questions than answers.
Glad I could help!
The videos Engineering Mindset puts out are phenomenal. This video explains essential information in such an easy way to understand with amazing visuals. Thank you so much for these great videos they help out soooo much! Keep up the great work!
An excellent tutorial! I do especially like the symbolic descriptions on how the components and circuitry works.
I´m mostly self taught and had snapped up bits and pieces here and there over a couple of decades, but always find it fun to repair electronics so a decent multimeter is essential. I own 4 at the moment for various use and/or ranges, both manual and automatic meters. Basically use them for voltage, ohms, capacitance, Hz or continuity.
Ditto. I always tell people; "Iknow just enough to be dangerous ". This is an excellent informational video.
bro this is like a masterclass level tutorial on how to use a multimeter, if I ever forget literally anything about them I can just look at this video
Finally, I found a tutorial that actually makes sense of how to use a multimeter. What a great tutorial I've watched several tutorials on multimeters and have found them difficult and confusing to understand but this tutorial is clear precise and easy to grasp, thank you so much for making this available. man you nailed it.
@fonhullotian2399 you need to be locked up for having anything to do with the engineering mindset 😀💥🐰🌶🏖🎃🧲®®®®™™™🏁🏁🏁🏁♀
It is amazing that of all the videos I have watched, yours is the most detailed that is explained in simple terms we can understand. GREAT WORK !!!
6:21 I worked as an electrician for several years, and i cannot understate how good of an advice that is
When it was first explained to me my reaction was 'oh, yea, that makes sense, why tf didnt i think of that before?'
There is a 10 Million ohm resistor inside these units between live and you. Its not bad to be aware the other lead is becoming electrified, but the multimeter will limit the current so much, its not going to shock you on any regular residential line. Its good to remember if you hook it up to any high voltage circuit though.
Check out NEW resistor video, everything covered! ➡️ th-cam.com/video/DYcLFHgVCn0/w-d-xo.html
Very informative and easily understood for a novice like myself. The safty factors included are a great way to go..thanks.
Glad it was helpful!

Recap by Tammy AI
Bookmarks should be mandatory for all monetized vids over 59sec ty!
I use mine to build guitar pedals and test components, but I don't do it often enough and I have to watch something like this again to remind me of all the settings again. This about covers everything I use it for.
Safety tip: Always verify your metering setting before testing. I trash a meter about 30 years ago because I tested a 125 VAC while the meter was on VDC. My new meter that I had to go out and buy after that mistake has auto range and some protection features built in.
this happened to me last week, I wasn't paying attention
Glad that some yt channel tell me to change mode first before measuring😅
Good to know that screwing up a meter 30 years ago was a thing to remember and that u memorized a value XD
@@doublewhopper67severely lacking in today’s society
That was probably an analog meter, which are not forgiving for incorrect range selection.
DMMs won't be damaged aside from plugging the test leads into the current measurement socket for voltage measurements. That's when if you're lucky it just blows the fuse😅
this is a really good tutorial video, very detailed and all the informations given are accurate, and i like how you make the right call by not calling mains voltage a "high voltage" unlike some other content creator that calls things below 1KV a high voltage (based on NEC,ANSI,IEEE,VDE and IEC60038)
This must be the best multimeter instruction video I have ever seen!
2:15 Continuity
I cannot understate how much i check for continuity as a hobbyist who's just dicking around with circuit boards and stuff.
Voltage is a close second
A comprehensive and informative video on multimeters, Thank you!
I could recollect my early days with a multimeter where I connected the multimeter to an AC circuit in parallel for measuring current and had no clue why it got damaged.
I think many of us have learnt from this mistake in our early engineering days
A lot of information to remember. Definitely rewatch it multiple times. Thank you ❤
This is the best multimeter content I have found online. Thank you so much I learned a ton.
A video I didn’t know I needed. God bless you Paul!
I've got the fluke 179 true rms multimeter, and now I know what the rest of the features do. Very informative and professional tutorial. Thank you.
One of If not the greatest learning video on multi meter testing and fault finding.. brilliant and concise
Hey man I'm a beginner so I was frustrated with how to use a multimeter as they have very thick manuals. Your video has explained everything about multimeters and your video is much understandable than the manuals. I'm grateful to you man
Could you add timestamps to the video? It would be super helpful! Great video!
Good shout
We can make them.
Not sure why I watch Yours videos cause i'm car electrician and doing lots of electronic/appliances repairs as well so i know all of these stuffs , but i really like them! These are very well made and people get good information/guidance. And somehow i feel like back in schools 😄 Keep up the great work! ❤
Funny… I used to be an HVAC/R and Electrical Contractor, now I do work on direct digital controls (SCADA Systems); but, I like watching videos like this as well… Also, was a loyal Fluke guy for decades… Although, these days most of the competitors are just as good on the low end stuff… Clearly, I am getting old as this is my Saturday night shortly after dinner!
Personally I prefer to plug my leads into the DC amps plug and put it across my 120v AC socket.
Watching the wires explosively popping off my leads gives me endless satisfaction-- far more satisfaction than using a meter for any legitimate purpose.
The explosive pop and the spasmodic dance of my hazard fraught meter's wires never cease to bring me joy.
It's worth the effort of trimming them back and reattaching them just to do it again.
would/10 highly recommended.
Great video, you answered my pressing questions, and I really learned a lot from this video. Thank you. By the way. Sometimes when using a cheap multimeter they will continue to give readings even when there is a problem with the meter, they don't always read error. So, if there is a short in your test leads, or it's cold, or you have a low battery, the cheap meter doesn't always tell you. If it's really expensive or important, I believe the higher quality meters are a better choice. I'd rather spend more on the tester, than on the mistake, especially since I've fixed things that didn't need to be fixed, I just needed a better meter.
Engineering Mindset taught me more than a semester course I have taken at school! Theory is important to get the fundamentals/concepts, but practical is one that will make you learn!
request:
1) learning basic ocilassi lc
2) build an induction heating circuit
3) create a series of electromagnetic waves
4) op amp
Your hard work is impressive. You made it so easy to understand
I have kaiweets multimeter good for a beginner and the accuracy is close to some of the fluke meter. This is a great video for anyone, getting into electrical and those who just need a refresh. Thanks!
I just started studying electronics as a hobby and this helps a lot, thanks man
I bought my first digital multimeter from Radio Shack in the early 90s. It cost $70, but as a kid, that seemed like a fortune, but I was getting interested in electronics, so I saved up for it.
Very essential guide how to correctly handle a multimeter. Million thanks. It was very helpful to watch.
Wow…this is a very detailed step by step explanation for newbies like me. Thank you!
Fantastic video, thank you! Just bought my first multi-meter, so this was a perfect introduction!
Damn I learned more about electronic components while learning about the multi meter
I understand now so much more than I did the 1st time I heard this reading!!! I’m thankful that this reading popped up again!!! Thank You Julia Rose❤
This is a brilliant tutorial. I use my multimeter to measure the speed of my car’s engine and to detect draw on the battery.
Simple. Comprehensive. Brilliant!
The best explanation of multimeter that I've ever seen on youtube
Thank you very much for this video. Brilliantly explained. I am confident enough now to buy a multimeter for working on my small electronic projects.
Really appreciate this! Great service for everybody interested in the topic. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for acknowledgment..l like how you give us the way how to show us the difficult ⚡️
Thank you so much for explaining in such an easy to understand way something that used to seem like sorcery to me :D
Great video and excellent tutorial (which is a must buy btw) thank you!
Will you ever make a similar tutorial about Oscilloscopes?
Ooh, that'd be great!
I have had a Fieldpiece SC640 from 2015 that's still going strong, I only needed to replace the leads. However, one day my boss at work called me up to his office and gave me a Fluke 87 V bran new. I do refrigeration so the SC640 suits me better, but that Fluke is one bad ass meter.
Wonderful well animated video (as always)
Safety : Testing mains voltage, and to a lesser extent any supply, it is worth a clear mention in the 'safety precautions' bit to be absolutely sure the the meter is NOT in a current measuring mode esp with older meters, as this could be very dangerous and trip circuits.
Many thanks.
before superhete came on the scene he got this radio that you had to bias separately when it came to the local station oscillator i must admit ive seen nothing on you-tube regarding the mentioned device although i was very impressed by a lady that produced here own valves and basic tv tube a real artist to keeping the craft alive
well i am a medical student but these things fascinate me i should have gone to engineering lol i want to learn everything about electricity.
Thank you for this tutorial. I was tremendously helpful with understanding how the multimeter work. Will get a copy of the book.
5 mins in and this video already does a better job at teaching me on using this than our teacher and my supervisor COMBINED.
Good bless you brother !!! I’m a speaking Spanish person . I don’t know nothing about volt ,resistance , multimeter. And you just make me understand everything.thanks brother 🙏🏻
Glad to hear. We do also have a Spanish channel with all videos translated
@@EngineeringMindset good to know !! Thanks 🙏🏻
This is so educational. Thank you for making it. I love how you repeat the important points over and over for emphasis.
Bought a Fluke 115 multimeter like you have last week, and this sure makes things easier! As i'm studying automation this information is gold worth, thanks :)
Great to hear!
I used to work for Fluke, HVAC/R and Controls group starting back in the days before they were acquired by Danaher… I have the 116, 117, 3000 kit (meter, clamp, and temp with usb to record data if desired), some others, and my favorite, a TiS 65 (thermal imager, which is great for motors, and other stuff)… But, these days I would probably purchase Fieldpiece as they have come a long way and are much more affordable!
@paulgrodkowski5839
This is the lesson my father never gave me. I need to adopt you. We need to make "adopt a father" a thing.
Hope it helps the youtube algorithm.
This is a overload of info. Going to get my notbook to take notes. Thanks for sharing.
This is good revision for me, been out of the field a while. Appreciate your work brother 👍💯
11:26 I’m studying electrical theory right now, just finished the chapter on resistors, the ones you show here are rated for 1Mohm +/-5%
Thanks for making these awesome videos, such a perfect companion to a textbook.
Love your videos! thanks for sharing this valuable knowledge! keep up the good work!
Literally just bought a multimeter yesterday and you drop this
It's a long video but it's a gateway to up skilling yourself
How did you know I was beginning to study the multimeter?
This clip was released just as I was about to start. 555555555
now I am scared to even hold it in my hands
but thank you for tutorial very useful
Excellent tutorial, easy to understand and very helpful for the beginners
Thank you
So much information and very well presented. Thank you! 👍
This is great! Would love one on a handheld oscilloscope tutorial!!!!
They are just plain fun, made run around and test everything when I first learned, great video
Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much!
nice, this video helps me a lot, recently, i bought a assark multimeter, i am not professional. Fortunately, I found the greatest video💯
One thing I use more than any is the Buzzer aka the speaker feature. It's the 4 lines on the meter.
Remove power aka unplug or remove power wires ac or dc. I do a lot of trouble shooting on start up of new systems with a lot of relays and
din rail blocks. I use this to test if things are jumpered correctly, wire to wire connections. Also use it when you pull relays out of bases to see if they change state correctly.
Truly The Best Video 💖 I found on internet its really important to learn how to use multimeter for lab uses
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this. 😍
You're welcome 😊
No doubts that this is the greatest multimeter tutorial on the web;)
the way you explain any thing is amazing thank you
Thank you for your very educational videos. Greatly appreciated
My Mentor The Engineering Mindset
👍
ACCOMPLISHED The Engineering Mindset
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Excellent and very thorough video. Thank you very much. I was a little bit intimidated by the new digital auto-ranging meter I just purchased, but now I am ready to open it and face it. I'm familiar with analog meters but not digital and especially the auto-ranging feature was giving me pause. My eyesight is getting worse with age and since we don't have a third hand to hold a magnifying glass, it was getting impossible to work and also read the scales, hence the upgrade. Also reading capacitance will come in handy.
I have a multimeter with a magnetic strap attached, makes it easier to work hands free. Many of the new meters also have a flip out stand tucked into the back too. I have seen a multimeter with a detachable wireless screen which would be useful at time although I'm not sure I can justify the cost for how often I would use it.
The best multi meter Video I've seen. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
amazing teacher as a plumber always struggled first class thankyou
Brilliant, a must 'go to' tutorial for electronic beginners.
@paulgrodkowski5839 I have clicked on thumbs down to @stuungar3399😀
I use multimeter for parking gates and this helped a lot thank you!!!
I just need to understand how to make my multimeter properly check power outage
THANKS BRO i wanted to learn how to use a meter to buy my first one and you teached me everything i needed to know about electronics thanks for your help , + 1 suscriber
I swear pink and blue I learn something new everytime I watch one of these videos. Awesome channel 👍
I have a Fluke 8024B. It's a very wacky design. 8 buttons like a desk fan, and you have to select the right combination to chose AC/DC, range, and type
Thanks for all of your videos, I am a programmer wanting to get another job, plan to have a repair shop for smartphones I just learn the basic fundamentals of electronic before I go more further.
I am new to this field and am very excited to learn new things.
I am using the fluke 101 right now
But i wanted to try an analog multimeter and i was wondering which one should I use, and to my surprise the one you showed in your video at the begining caught up my eye. I was hoping that if you will provide me that little beauty.
I will be thankful to you.
Your fan.
This is the most simple way of your teaching, thanks
Super tutorial, probably worth a mention about the category of meter as well as a CATII wouldn't be good to use on mains electric, despite offering dazzling max voltages of 600V.
Best explanation of the multimeter on the whole internet
Thank you for this video I learned more in this video than in my electrical training school
100%
Good idea, time to get stuck in. Best engineering channel out there by a long way. Yet a difficult top spot to maintain, so keep the good content coming.
Thanks 👍
I personally use mine in the live entertainment industry. I could go from reading voltage to resistance to continuity to amperage in an hour in a day. Being the Lighting Designer and Master Electrician, I need to be able to also read resistance so I don't use the wrong gauge wire for the length of wire needed going to a lighting instrument that might only be used that day. I use these videos to sharpen the basic skills I have to keep me up to date on anything new I might not know. Especially when dealing with over 400V. When it is that high of voltage those lines, get what we call "Cam Lock" connectors in my industry, which is always 3 phase power. But 99% of the time, I am dealing with at very most on a daily single 220 volts. Which really hurts if it is live, and you're lucky enough to be in a grounded boom lift that allows the breaker to trip. That story is because someone that wasn't scheduled to be at work accidentally hit the breaker with a broom handle.... I now keep my own personal lock out kit on top of my jobs lockout kit in my toolbox because of it.
