The multimeter then displays the voltage drop when the test leads are connected across a diode when forward biased.
Fluke 177 fuse test.
The fluke 177 esfp true rms digital multimeter with backlight has the features needed to repair most electrical and electronic problems.
With its precision reliability and ease of use the fluke 177 digital multimeter is the preferred solution for professional technicians worldwide.
Make certain a all power to the circuit is off and b no voltage exists at the diode.
Just for fun i decided to test my new fuses by measuring the current that my cheap multimeter uses to test resistance.
Fluke test leads and probes enhance your ability to take multimeter measurements in different environments.
This meter is simple and easy to use and has significant improvements over fluke s original 70 series including true rms more measurement functions conformance to the latest safety standards and a much larger backlit display.
Fluke test leads are the number one choice to get the most out of your fluke test tools and multimeters.
The diode test procedure is conducted as follows.
From probe in one to modular retractable test leads with alligator clips and probes and patch cords of various lengths.
1 86 ma flows through whatever circuit you are testing for resistance and the resistance of the input of the fluke 177 is 2 4 ohms when it s in the 400 ma terminal and on the dc amp setting.
