If you’ve ever experienced even a mild electrical shock, you know how powerful—and frightening—it can be. There are more than 50,000 electrical fires in the U.S. every year, and close to 400 people ...

Fortunately, if you’ve ever needed to test the voltage on your USB-C devices, there is a tool for you. There are quite a few USB-C voltage meters on the market, including one from one of my favourite ...

A multimeter and its test leads allow electrical workers to reach into an energized panel, touch live circuit components with the end of the test leads, and capture electrical readings like voltage, ...

If you were to ask a random Hackaday reader what their most fundamental piece of electronic test equipment was, it’s likely that they would respond with “multimeter”. If you asked them to produce it, ...

The power supply on a computer transforms the alternating current from the wall outlet into a direct current flow that the computer's components can use. Testing the DC voltage output of the power ...

The new Fluke 377 FC and 378 FC Non-Contact Voltage True-rms AC/DC Clamp Meters can measure voltage and current simultaneously without touching a live wire EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Any time an ...

This three-part series describes how to properly test a DC/DC power supply, and ensure that it works reliably over various operating conditions. This series is intended to provide the designer with a ...

There’s hardly any piece of test equipment more fundamental than a volt ohm meter. Today you’re likely to have a digital one, but for most of history, these devices had real needle meters. The ...
