All analog measurements — voltage, current, temperature, humidity, etc. — include some amount of error. Your job is to minimize those errors enough to give your ...

Measuring resistance doesn’t seem to be a big deal. Put your meter leads across two wires or terminals and read the value, right? Most of the time that is good enough, but sometimes you need better ...

Don�t heap all the blame for a wrong measurement on the DMM. There can be several less obvious sources of the errors. Testing assemblies and components usually includes checking the continuity of ...

Download this article in PDF format. Proper wiring and probing/contacting are critical to making successful measurements. When testing cells or batteries, using good engineering practices is important ...

Measuring the electrical resistance (ohms) of motors, compressors, and other electrical devices in HVAC systems may seem straightforward. But when the measurements of zero (0) or “OL” (overload) come ...

I WISH to direct attention to the performance of Minalpha wire as supplied by Johnson Matthey when used as the filament in an electrical resistance wire strain-gauge, and also to indicate the effect ...
