Episode: Short 14 - The Voltage Drop Tool
Description: In today's short podcast episode, Bryan discusses the voltage drop measurement tool, also commonly known as the voltmeter. You can also find this voltage drop tool on multimeters. You use them to check voltage drops, NOT the actual voltage. We get voltage values from a potential difference. So, we check for these differences via voltage drops. For example, you can determine if contactor pitting or carbon buildup is problematic by measuring the voltage across contact points. Your meter will read the voltage drop. We don't often deal with intentional series circuits. However, we can see...
