  • How does electricity work? How do I use a multimeter as a beginner? In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance explains how to use a multimeter. First, you'll learn the fundamentals of electricity including voltage, amperage and resistance. This tutorial will help you understand what a multimeter can measure. Then you'll see how to test components for continuity and do some safe voltage tests on a receptacle.

We decided to add that section on electricity basics as we know that its area where people common had a partial understanding with some concepts that were a bit fuzzy. The rest of the video is definitely easier to understand after the first section.

    * *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".

    I would also advise that the multimeter switch is always left on the AC volts position when putting it away.
    If it is left on the resistance setting for instance and then used it to check AC volts next time you might only blow the internal fuse but it could be a lot worse. Electrical arc burns are usually life changing if you actually survive.
    In fact the best approach is to say out loud to yourself what you're about to do and how.

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.

      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.

    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?

    • @AmreSupply
      @AmreSupply  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.

    • @shazeebmw
      @shazeebmw 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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

    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.
