An Essential Guide to Analog Meters

Why Analog Meters Remain Relevant in Modern Industry
An analog meter is an electromechanical instrument that displays electrical quantities—such as voltage, current, or power—using a physical pointer that moves across a calibrated scale. Unlike digital meters that show numerical values, analog meters provide continuous visual feedback through needle movement. (more...)

Insulation Testing: Megohmmeter or Hipot Tester

Insulation Testing: Megohmmeter or Hipot Tester

Use a megohmmeter to measure insulation resistance in the field (non-destructive, trend monitoring). Use a hipot (dielectric withstand) tester to verify insulation breakdown thresholds in manufacturing or safety tests. Choose based on your use case, voltage needs, and test objectives. (more...)

DMM

Common Mistakes When Using a DMM

The digital multimeter is one of the most widely used test instruments. A handheld DMM typically has 3½ or 4½ digit resolution and at least 3, but sometimes more than 10 functions (DCV, ACV, Ω, DCA, ACA, Hz, duty cycle, capacitance, continuity, diode test, etc). Newer meters include many features to increase safety, (more...)
