* *Update* * Another note on safety when testing live voltage: In the video it is recommended to always check the multimeter leads for damage before use as well as to hold the multimeter leads from the insulated handle. For additional layer of safety, its best to wear electrical safety gloves and to only hold the multimeter in one hand at any given time. Holding the multimeter leads in one hand will prevent electricity from passing from one side of the body to the other in the case of a shock. This is known as the "one hand rule".
hello, i mistakenly put a 7Ah battery to run the multimeter to check electricity, which led to its disabling. is it completely damaged or is it repairable?
@@chicreev Thanks for watching. It might just have blown the internal fuse inside of the multimeter. In some cases replacing the fuse will fix the issue.
Many videos over this tool, by far rates above all. No music, detailed information and explanation of several variable elements of tooling and items being tested. Just subscribed, looking for more. Thank you

First time seeing your video. Although I know some advanced electricity such as installing a breaker box for an external electrical outlet, this was very interesting. When someone talks to you and not down to you, it can make a very simple video very interesting. Thank you I really appreciated the video!👍!
Very professional demostration Vance on appropriate doing small testing on batteries to checking the power to the circuits in the house. I also like the safety response notes you apply after you do your videos. Hopefully you will do a video on hooking up an outdoor outlet for a generator to power a house from the Panel Box or maybe I missed the video.
Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! We currently don't have a video on using a generator to power your home in the case of an outage. We are currently filming more videos on appliance repairs and troubleshooting so it will likely be a while before we return to film more electrical based videos.
As a fellow Vance I knew within the first 30 seconds that this would be a good one; Haha on a more serious note Thank you for your time, and your help take care!
Thank you, we're just happy to help people learn and understand these concepts! Sometimes the right images and graphics can help put it all into perspective.
Thank you Matt for sharing your experience we're just happy to help! Just for curiosity sake, what other AMRE videos have helped you as a maintenance mechanic?
Thank you for the excellent easy to understand presentation. As a retired person it called independence the basic knowledge to perform simple testing and repairs around the home myself. Wish I would have this knowledge a long time ago.
You're welcome Bob, we're glad you found it helpful! We know how important it is to have a good base of knowledge as it helps maintain ones independence.

Thanks for putting out an actual educational video I'm so sick of seeing so many people who think they know what they are doing and making dangerous tutorials thinking they are doing something right and helpful. I'm an electrician myself and I see so many dangerous videos on TH-cam like that I would prefer that I seen no videos like this so it's just left to myself and others who know what we are doing but if they are going to find a video I'd rather they find your videos and see how to do things right.🙂👍✌
@@RavenTheLabrador Thank you Matthew! There are so many low quality videos out that skip the basics or assume that people already know certain principles. We put a lot of effort into making our videos easy to follow and accurate. We're glad that you noticed it!
Great Tutorial! Im just wondering what will happen to the multi tester, if someone accidentally put the test probes in a 220V AC Outlet while the red is connected to the A terminal and and black to the Ground. The knob is in 600V AC? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. If the multimeter is set to testing voltage and is rated for 600V AC, if it was set to the voltage setting then it likely did not damage the multimeter. If the multimeter is set to measture amps and the leads were connected to the outlet, then that will likely blow the fuse.
What Im saying is, the Multimeter is set to measure the AC, rated at 600V. However, the red probe was inserted to the Ampere Terminal instead of the (VOhms Terminal) . Is it okay?
@@EhrosmithTV If the probes were in the wrong ports, it can damage the multimeter. It might still be ok though. When you switched back to the VOhms port, does the multimeter still measure voltage and resistance?
Thanks for the video although we are in different countries wia your 60hz and my 50hz. This video has now been given to my electrical engineering class since we couldn't assemble in campus due to a student strike shutting it down so now as today this was supposed to be our final lesson for our n1, our teacher agreed that this is good and shared it
Thank you, we're just happy to help!. We don't have any specific videos on testing transformers. However in an isolated test you can check the windings for continuity. If there is no continuity in the transformer windings, then it's faulty and will need to be replaced.
Thank you very much. The graphics you included (AC and DC voltage, Resistance, etc.) were very helpful in understanding what is displayed on the multimeter. 👍
You're welcome, we're glad to hear that you found the graphics helpful! If you are curious, we use the same sort of style of circuits in our appliance troubleshooting videos: th-cam.com/video/L9ZI5GyON9I/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Concise, no-nonsense and clearly explained. Question… An electrician installed an outdoor overhead light box years ago in anticipation of a custom fixture that was being made. Fast forward to now and I’m ready to install however, I’d like to test to see if those wires still work and I’m not sure what circuit feeds it. Can I use a multimeter to see if the line is still hot by touching the wires? Or can I simply use a socket bulb with bare wires doing the same?
Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! The safest way to verify if wires are hot is to use a non-contact voltage tester or NCVT www.amresupply.com/search?q=voltage+tester These detect the magnetic field around a wire so it has the advantage of verifying if a single wire is hot even without a reference to ground or neutral.
never touch a live wire always turn off the power source then you touch a wire, it also demands on what is the gauge of the wire to discharge the current and voltage and many things to know when it comes to residential building code and V / I / R etc voltage law etc
Great presentation. I am a novice. I want to learn safely so I can do some small DIY home improvement projects w/o always having to hire a professional (IOW, save some 💲💲💲💲). Thanks so much for creating and sharing this video. I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you and you are spot on! When making these there is definitely a consideration of how granular these explanations need to be. We'd run into that same issue when talking about conventional verses electron flow. You could spend a whole video trying to explain the details and for most people that is far beyond what they need to know. This video was created mostly to support our appliance and HVAC repair videos where we isolate and test components for continuity. Understanding the principles behind it help. We did make a few additional videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLCo9SMjkdWBycw9hZVfYFc6Sw2Jlavaak.html
Thank you, we try to make all of our videos as informative as this one! If you're curious we have a "how it works" playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLCo9SMjkdWBxWwrWCmzvRMSi2kLo9bGdp.html
I see you skipped over the HZ setting. Granted it's something you will probably never have a need to use, but I found it to be very helpful when adjusting the speed of a portable generator engine. Someone had messed with the adjustment, and the generator was running closer to 50HZ than 60HZ. A simple adjustment brought it back to 60HZ.
Thank you Bill, We're glad that you found it helpful! We actually just released a series on ovens and stoves today: If you're interested here's a video with animations showing how an electric range works: th-cam.com/video/L9ZI5GyON9I/w-d-xo.html
You stated categorically that (domestic) power is 120v. Since this video goes world wide you should have mentioned that countries have different voltages. E.g. Australia has 240v. Saying this may prevent electrocution.
Thanks for watching. You are right that there are different voltages in various countries. When we filmed this video, we didn't expect it to get millions of views. We are based in Canada and based on the analytics, most of our views come from North America, so the content we create is focused on North America standards.
Maybe can state this in the text beneath the title if have not allready... just a suggestion since i have seen this issue in multiple comments. Thankyou for the great video though. Helped me get som auto work done
Thanks for watching Sterling. We definitely try to cover as much of the info that we can for each of our videos. The "how it works" and the why behind it is very important, which is why we put the effort in!

At 2:56 you show a household outlet (AC) and a current flowing in DC. A bit confusing. So, if electrons reverse direction at 60hz how far does an electron physically move before reversing direction in an AC circuit. Is the movement measurable? Is there a name for it? The water tower pressure analogy pushing and moving electrons doesnt work for AC current does it?
Thanks for watching. For simplicity sake we often show circuits with electricity flowing in one direction as it can often get messy to look at the circuit when AC flow is shown. The electrons in an AC circuit don't move very far. They are only moving in one direction for a fraction of a second before switching directions. The net result is that they stay in place. The water tower analogy would still technically work, it's not perfect but in the case of AC imagine if gravity was reversed 60 times a second. The principles of voltage (pressure), resistance and current (flow) still apply but voltage decreases to 0 before becoming negative. Negative voltage denotes flowing in the opposite direction.

Thank you, we're just happy to make some helpful content! Many more "how it works" videos in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLCo9SMjkdWBxWwrWCmzvRMSi2kLo9bGdp.html
First time seeing your video. Although I know some advanced electricity such as installing a breaker box for an external electrical outlet, this was very interesting. When someone talks to you and not down to you, it can make a very simple video very interesting. Thank you I really appreciated the video!👍!
You're welcome, we're glad that you found it interesting!
Really informative with a clear and concise manner of delivery. Great video. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for introduce your products and show us how to use it. Very simple and easy understanding. Very informative .👍👍👍
You're welcome Samuel, we're just happy to help!
Great video! I am always puzzled by electrical projects and using a multimeter. This helped me identify a faulty outlet. Thanks!
Thank you, we're glad that the video helped you out!
Very professional demostration Vance on appropriate doing small testing on batteries to checking the power to the circuits in the house. I also like the safety response notes you apply after you do your videos. Hopefully you will do a video on hooking up an outdoor outlet for a generator to power a house from the Panel Box or maybe I missed the video.
Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! We currently don't have a video on using a generator to power your home in the case of an outage. We are currently filming more videos on appliance repairs and troubleshooting so it will likely be a while before we return to film more electrical based videos.
As a fellow Vance I knew within the first 30 seconds that this would be a good one; Haha on a more serious note Thank you for your time, and your help take care!
Thank you Giovance! We're just happy to help out, in what small way we can!
Wow... Very great teaching and simple. Imagine for 1yrs in school I dint get this. And u have made me understand it in minutes. Hahahahaha
Thank you, we're just happy to help people learn and understand these concepts! Sometimes the right images and graphics can help put it all into perspective.
Can't state enough how your videos have help me as a maintenance mechanic.
Thank you Matt for sharing your experience we're just happy to help! Just for curiosity sake, what other AMRE videos have helped you as a maintenance mechanic?

Nice presentation and explanation of the different functions of the multimeter. Thank you for sharing and making this video.
You're welcome Nick, we're just happy to help!
Great video. Very thorough and helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you Ken! We're glad you found it helpful! We noticed a lot of videos on multimeters skip around and don't fully explain everything, so we decided to make an in-depth video. We try to put that same attention to detail into all our videos!
@@AmreSupply Yes, I have noticed that. Your video on how a gas furnace works was excellent. Very professional. The pace of delivery and animations were an fantastic touch in improving the viewers experience and learning.
@@kenmullin8649 Thank you Ken we truly appreciate it! That was a fun project to make especially with the 3D animations. Its one of those things that can't be explained that easily in 2D. Overall breaking down the system in a simple way really does make it easier for people to have that "ah ha" moment.
Turned video speed up to 1.25,,good info👍🏼Thanks
Thanks for watching.
His presentations are outstanding, in a word!
Thank you, we're glad that you're finding our videos helpful!
I love this instruction, it is very clear to explain specific in detail. Thanks👍👍👍❤
You're welcome, we're glad you found the video helpful!
I"ve seen other videos, but your video I found informative and illustrative. Thanks!
You're welcome Jorge! We're glad that you enjoyed the video! We try our best to make each video, easy to follow with clear images and graphics. We have many more on our channel that we hope you might enjoy. For example here's one on how water heaters work which has some very detail graphics! th-cam.com/video/BHUPFLbb8NY/w-d-xo.html Cheers
Thanks for putting out an actual educational video I'm so sick of seeing so many people who think they know what they are doing and making dangerous tutorials thinking they are doing something right and helpful. I'm an electrician myself and I see so many dangerous videos on TH-cam like that I would prefer that I seen no videos like this so it's just left to myself and others who know what we are doing but if they are going to find a video I'd rather they find your videos and see how to do things right.🙂👍✌
@@RavenTheLabrador Thank you Matthew! There are so many low quality videos out that skip the basics or assume that people already know certain principles. We put a lot of effort into making our videos easy to follow and accurate. We're glad that you noticed it!
Great Tutorial! Im just wondering what will happen to the multi tester, if someone accidentally put the test probes in a 220V AC Outlet while the red is connected to the A terminal and and black to the Ground. The knob is in 600V AC? Thanks.
Thanks for watching. If the multimeter is set to testing voltage and is rated for 600V AC, if it was set to the voltage setting then it likely did not damage the multimeter. If the multimeter is set to measture amps and the leads were connected to the outlet, then that will likely blow the fuse.
@@AmreSupply thanks. Based on what you said, does it matter whether the red probe was inserted to the Ampere Terminal or the VOhmA Terminal? Thanks.
What Im saying is, the Multimeter is set to measure the AC, rated at 600V.
However, the red probe was inserted to the Ampere Terminal instead of the (VOhms Terminal) . Is it okay?
@@EhrosmithTV If the probes were in the wrong ports, it can damage the multimeter. It might still be ok though. When you switched back to the VOhms port, does the multimeter still measure voltage and resistance?
This is really good, BIG THANKS!!! from srilanka
You're welcome Anura! We're just happy to help!
Excellent crisp and clear very educational on basic electricity and use of multimeter .👌👍👏
Thank you very much! We're just happy to share some helpful information!
Thanks for the video although we are in different countries wia your 60hz and my 50hz. This video has now been given to my electrical engineering class since we couldn't assemble in campus due to a student strike shutting it down so now as today this was supposed to be our final lesson for our n1, our teacher agreed that this is good and shared it
Thanks for sharing this, we're happy to hear that our videos are being shown to students! All the best to you!
Fantastic channel . I have a question , how do I test a 7.5 output transformer I get a zero reading when testing the transformer output
Thank you, we're just happy to help!. We don't have any specific videos on testing transformers. However in an isolated test you can check the windings for continuity. If there is no continuity in the transformer windings, then it's faulty and will need to be replaced.
This is really good, BIG THANKS!!!
You're very welcome!! We're glad that you found it helpful!
Thank you very much. The graphics you included (AC and DC voltage, Resistance, etc.) were very helpful in understanding what is displayed on the multimeter. 👍
You're welcome, we're glad to hear that you found the graphics helpful! If you are curious, we use the same sort of style of circuits in our appliance troubleshooting videos: th-cam.com/video/L9ZI5GyON9I/w-d-xo.html
Great video! Concise, no-nonsense and clearly explained. Question…
An electrician installed an outdoor overhead light box years ago in anticipation of a custom fixture that was being made. Fast forward to now and I’m ready to install however, I’d like to test to see if those wires still work and I’m not sure what circuit feeds it. Can I use a multimeter to see if the line is still hot by touching the wires? Or can I simply use a socket bulb with bare wires doing the same?
Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! The safest way to verify if wires are hot is to use a non-contact voltage tester or NCVT www.amresupply.com/search?q=voltage+tester These detect the magnetic field around a wire so it has the advantage of verifying if a single wire is hot even without a reference to ground or neutral.
never touch a live wire always turn off the power source then you touch a wire, it also demands on what is the gauge of the wire to discharge the current and voltage and many things to know when it comes to residential building code and V / I / R etc voltage law etc
He is a real teacher by nature
Thank you Huzur!
Great presentation. I am a novice. I want to learn safely so I can do some small DIY home improvement projects w/o always having to hire a professional (IOW, save some 💲💲💲💲). Thanks so much for creating and sharing this video. I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for subscribing, we're glad that you found the video helpful! I think you'll find some other great videos on our channel too!
Electricity is the movement of charge between atoms. But for all intents and purposes that’s a fine way of thinking about it. Great vid thanks.
Thank you and you are spot on! When making these there is definitely a consideration of how granular these explanations need to be. We'd run into that same issue when talking about conventional verses electron flow. You could spend a whole video trying to explain the details and for most people that is far beyond what they need to know. This video was created mostly to support our appliance and HVAC repair videos where we isolate and test components for continuity. Understanding the principles behind it help. We did make a few additional videos here: th-cam.com/play/PLCo9SMjkdWBycw9hZVfYFc6Sw2Jlavaak.html

Thank you Jacques, we're glad that you found the video helpful!
I see you skipped over the HZ setting. Granted it's something you will probably never have a need to use, but I found it to be very helpful when adjusting the speed of a portable generator engine. Someone had messed with the adjustment, and the generator was running closer to 50HZ than 60HZ. A simple adjustment brought it back to 60HZ.
Thanks for watching. The HZ setting is not commonly used but checking a generator is definitely one case where it would be very useful!
All I wanted to know have been explained by you and it's well understood
Thank you, we're just glad that people are finding this video helpful!

EXCELLENT !!! Thanks Bunches for being so very Informative
You're welcome, we're just happy to help!
You stated categorically that (domestic) power is 120v. Since this video goes world wide you should have mentioned that countries have different voltages. E.g. Australia has 240v. Saying this may prevent electrocution.
Thanks for watching. You are right that there are different voltages in various countries. When we filmed this video, we didn't expect it to get millions of views. We are based in Canada and based on the analytics, most of our views come from North America, so the content we create is focused on North America standards.
Maybe can state this in the text beneath the title if have not allready... just a suggestion since i have seen this issue in multiple comments. Thankyou for the great video though. Helped me get som auto work done
Yep, in Europe is mostly 220v.
Pretty easy to tell from the wall outlet type.
Fantastic explanation. Thanks for your dedication and service.

Great video, thank you. How would I use a multimeter to check for a "good ground" on my accessory plug on a motorcycle?
Thanks for watching. Without any specific experience with motorcycles, this is outside of the scope of what we can answer. Might be good to ask within motorcycle repair forums or specific videos on motorcycle repairs.

At 2:56 you show a household outlet (AC) and a current flowing in DC. A bit confusing. So, if electrons reverse direction at 60hz how far does an electron physically move before reversing direction in an AC circuit. Is the movement measurable? Is there a name for it? The water tower pressure analogy pushing and moving electrons doesnt work for AC current does it?
Thanks for watching. For simplicity sake we often show circuits with electricity flowing in one direction as it can often get messy to look at the circuit when AC flow is shown.
The electrons in an AC circuit don't move very far. They are only moving in one direction for a fraction of a second before switching directions. The net result is that they stay in place.
The water tower analogy would still technically work, it's not perfect but in the case of AC imagine if gravity was reversed 60 times a second. The principles of voltage (pressure), resistance and current (flow) still apply but voltage decreases to 0 before becoming negative. Negative voltage denotes flowing in the opposite direction.
