Different electrical measuring tools and instruments are used for various purposes. Test lights are used to check for current in a circuit. Micrometers precisely measure wire diameters. Rulers measure lengths and distances. Multimeters can measure voltage, current, and resistance with different settings. Voltmeters measure voltage, ammeters measure current, and clamp ammeters clamp onto wires to measure current non-invasively. Proper use and care of these tools is important for electrical work.

resistance in a circuit.
Measurement is the process or the result of determining the ratio of a
physical quantity, such as a length, time, temperature, etc., to a unit of
measurement, such as the meter, second or degree Celsius. The science of
measurement is called metrology.
The English word measurement originates from the Latin
mēnsūra and the verb meter through the Middle French measure.
Electrical measuring tools and instruments are sensitive and delicate so
extra care is necessary in handling them. These are used to measure currents,
voltages, resistances, wattages and other important elements in electrical works.

Voltmeter is an instrument used to measure electrical pressure or voltage of a


circuit. The unit of measure is volt (v). This is connected across or parallel to the
circuit.

Clamp Ammeter is also called tong-tester. It is used to measure current flowing in


a conductor. It is clamped or hanged in a conductor.

Ammeter is an instrument used to measure the amount of electrical current intensity in


a circuit. The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is connected along or series to the circuit.
