Overview The CORE - Basic Electrical test Equipment training program, or unit, is designed to familiarize trainees with various types of electrical test instruments. After completing this program, the trainees should be able to follow safe work practices and procedures while properly using circuit testers, multimeters, ammeters, megohmmeters, and digital low resistance ohmmeters.
Objectives Follow safe work practices and procedures while using electrical test equipment. Use circuit testers to indicate the presence of energized electrical circuits. Use an analog multimeter to measure voltage, resistance, and current in AC and DC circuits. Use a digital multimeter to measure voltage, resistance, and current in AC and DC circuits. Identify in-line and clamp-on ammeters. Use an analog ammeter to measure current through a conductor. Use a digital ammeter to measure current through a conductor. Use a megohmmeter to test the insulation resistance of a conductor, transformer, and motor. Explain how to measure the resistance of electrical circuits and equipment with a DLRO.
