Howdy,

Figured some of you might like to read this article on how to use a MultiMeter from ideal.

Thanks, I will use it. I teach a class in residenrial heating, next week, the electrical stuff.

As a side bar - do you use a multimeter with fused probes for protection?

[Greg Fretwell]

Virtually every multimeter I have ever seen has an internal fuse.
That really only protects the amp scale anyway. The digitals are virtually impossible to blow up with anything we will see in a home on the other scales. Old analog meters could have the movement damaged on an overvolt and the resistors would fry if you put voltage on the resistance scale.
