Correction - AC means Alternating current, I don't know why i said alternative, stupid me

@MrMOGHammer 5 жыл бұрын

most people would still understand the meaning even if you misnamed it. At least it was not confused with Direct Current.

alternative current worked for me... I'm sure all viewers knew what u meant 😀

I'm an electronics technician (so, not a beginner) and I think this is the best simplest most concise introduction video to multimeters I've seen. Great job!

@reeferman206 11 ай бұрын

Definitely. This was my first time ever using one, and no issues figuring it out right off!

Thanks for being gentle and humble to test in cheap one that everyone could afford.

@nathaneulslavens4182 Жыл бұрын

The cheap one doesn’t beep?? So does that mean you can’t test continuity? When ever I try with mine nothing happens.. but I have no idea how to work it. But no video I’ve watched has helped me figure out how to work it. Maybe the free one I found is broken.

Excellent video mate. Concise, informative, and easy to understand. Exactly what I wanted to know, and no extra crap that I didn't. I went through almost 10 videos until I found your one and its by far the best. Well done.

Dude, great video. Im in my senior year of my electrical engineering major and i just bought my first handheld multimeter and this video cleared up all my confusion immediately. I've only used multimeters before in the University's EE lab, so i just needed a quick tutorial like this, and you nailed it. Thanks for the tip at the end btw about the auto-adjusting multimeter, I'm getting that next time.

This is fantastic. You even had the same cheap multi meter I have. In England we have been advised to expect power cuts due to the war by Russia. I have an electric bike with a 36 volt 500 amp hour battery. I have bought a step down transformer from 36 to 5 volt. It has USB connectors on it. I can run 5 volt LED light strips, tablets and phones etc. I also bought some heat pads that I can fit into my clothes or sleeping bag if it gets cold. This tutorial has helped my understand better what is happening. Thanks.
