MULTITESTER
Derive from two words “Multi” means many and
“Tester” means measuring instruments
Multitester is a generic name and the original name is
Volt Ohm Milli Ammeter or simply VOM
It is a composition of four measuring instruments
combine to one unit such as;

1, Voltmeter Use to measure voltage


Types of Voltmeter
1, A.C. Voltmeter 2, D.C. Voltmeter
2, Ohm meter Use to measure voltage

3, Ammeter Use to measure current

Types of Ammeter

1, A.C. Ammeter Use to measure current drawn from AC voltage

2, D.C. Ammeter Use to measure current drawn from DC voltage

Note: The VOM has an ammeter that can measure DC current in a


small scale, that is why they call it as DC milli ammeter

SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT
READING THE SCALE OF LINEAR MEASURING INSTRUMENTS

THERE ARE TWO SYSTEMS OF LINEAR MEASUREMENT USED IN ELECTRICAL


DRAWINGS. THESE ARE THE ENGLISH AND METRIC. THE ENGLISH SYSTEM
USES INCHES, FOOT/FEET WHILE THE METRIC SYSTEM USE METER

IN THE ENGLISH SYSTEM, AN INCH IS GRADUATED IN 16TH, 8TH, 4TH,


AND 2ND. THERE ARE 16/16, 8/8, 4/4, 2/2 IN 1 INCH. THERE ARE 12
INCHES IN 1 FOOT.

IN THE METRIC SYSTEM, THE CENTIMETER IS GRADUATED IN MILLIMETER.


THERE ARE 10 MILLIMETERS IN 1 CENTIMETER. THERE ARE 100
CENTIMETERS IN 1 METER.
English System (inches, foot)

Metric System (millimeter, centimeter)
