Course content

2 sections17 lectures51m total length
  • Welcome to the Course: What You’ll Learn1:34

    Learn to use a digital multimeter with confidence, test and troubleshoot circuit breakers, fuses, contactors, relays, and more through clear, practical, hands-on steps.

  • Safety First2:03

    Prioritize safety by wearing personal protective equipment, including insulated gloves and safety glasses, and avoid jewelry; assume wires are live until tested with a multimeter and keep power off.

  • Multimeter Overview3:30

    Explore the digital multimeter as the essential tool for measuring voltage (AC and DC), resistance, and continuity. Learn its main parts—the display, dial, input ports, and test leads—and safety basics.

  • Getting to Know Your Digital Multimeter
  • Continuity Testing3:16

    Learn how to use the continuity test on a digital multimeter to verify electrical connections, testing wires, switches, fuses, and components by checking for a beep with power off.

  • Mastering Continuity Testing
  • How to Measure Resistance Correctly3:10

    Master measuring resistance with a digital multimeter by following a step-by-step method: ensure the circuit is de-energized, set to ohms, test the meter, and read the component resistance.

  • Measuring Resistance with a Digital Multimeter
  • Resistance vs Continuity2:15

    distinguish resistance from continuity with a multimeter, using ohms for values and a beep to confirm a complete path, and remember to never test on a live circuit.

  • Resistance vs Continuity — What’s the Difference?
  • How to Measure AC & DC Voltage Safely3:31

    Learn to safely measure AC and DC voltage with a digital multimeter, mastering DC polarity, recognizing AC voltage, and following essential safety steps.

  • Measuring AC and DC Voltage Safely
  • How to Measure Current3:24

    Learn to measure electrical current with a digital multimeter, using the probe-in-series method or a clamp meter for safe, fast AC and DC current measurements.

  • Measuring Electrical Current
  • Multimeter Mistakes to Avoid3:13

    Avoid common multimeter mistakes by powering off for resistance testing, using correct probe ports, and measuring current in series; verify range and dial settings, inspect leads.

  • Multimeter Mistakes to Avoid

Requirements

  • No prior electrical experience required — the course is beginner-friendly.
  • A basic understanding of safety around electricity is recommended.
  • A digital multimeter (essential for practice).
  • Access to simple electrical components or circuits (e.g., batteries, wires, switches, lamps) for testing exercises.
