Summary: Here are the testers and meters I use on most all of my electrical jobs and projects. © By: Dave Rongey |
Digital and Analog Voltage Testers and Multi Meters
Example of Electrical Testers and Meters:
- Inductive Voltage Tester: Check AC or DC Voltage, 120v to 600v range..
- Multi-Function Digital Meter: All in one analog amperage and voltage meter.
- Non-Contact Voltage Tester: Quick test a circuit for voltage.
- Plug-In Circuit Analyzer: Receptacle outlet tester.
- Analog Tester, OHM Resistance Meter: Check AC or DC voltage and resistance.

Inductive Voltage TesterFor testing voltage of wiring and devices 120 to 600 Volts AC DC. I use this type of tester the most, because it produces a quick accurate reading where I can feel the induction coil and see the neon light display. |
 |
Multi-Function Digital MeterClamp-On Amperage Reading, Voltage and Continuity. This is a great all in one meter used for clamp-on amperage readings or a set of test leads for checking voltage or ohms and continuity. |
 |
Non-Contact Voltage TesterThe Non-Conductive Probe Senses Voltage. Non-conductive testers are very handy but are not totally accurate because some may produce false readings so they should not be 100% relied on. |
 |
Plug-In Circuit Analyzer3-Light Display Detects the Wiring Configuration. Plug in circuit analyzers are great but they too are not totally accurate and may produce false readings for boot-legged grounds and neutrals and even reverse polarity. |
 |
Analog Tester, OHM Resistance MeterNon-Conductive Probe Senses Voltage. The good old sweep-needle analog tester has been my buddy for a long time for testing voltage and ohms or continuity for AC and DC circuits. |
