Please note: Resistance/continuity setting is only for non-live circuits. You can damage your meter or cause injury if you test resistance on a live circuit.

Thank you so much for your videos Dustin they help me a lot as a first year apprentice , you really are a great electrician :)

I literally just watched the longer version of this episode a few hours ago. Thanks for the shorter one too. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Great content! Love how you explain everything. You are a good teacher Dustin.

Great refresher vid you got here! Thanks a lot, bud!

Thanks for the videos. Really helpful and keeps people like me from feeling like I’ve asked a stupid question.

Great,this was well presented and easy to understand and it covered the four important functions.

2:50 I'm an electrician apprentice and my dad asked me the other day about some sort of device you're supposed to plug in near your circuit breaker to help lower your energy cost. You just gave the perfect example of why it works great for an industrial application but not for residential. When I looked into it, an article explained about how it basically evened out that power Spike that industrial Motors cause..

I’m 7 days into my apprenticeship (and 45 years old)... I watch EU in all my spare time. Thanks so much for all you do Dustin.

Hi Dustin, great video. In addition to voltage rating you might want to mention the corresponding IEC CAT rating, too.

I’m in hvac trying to understand electric from other hvac guys not that I’m complaining but I should have subscribed to this channel a long time ago learning a lot !

Makes more sense watching this than a professor explaining it lml

If you have a megger/insulation tester, you should do a video on insulation testing and leakage current next. It could be a nice way to start out a new advanced techniques series of videos.

Hi Dustin, ping me if you ever want to borrow a leakage current clamp meter, super mega-ohm meter, insulation resistance meter or ground resistance tester.

Great video Dustin!

You should do a video on how to find a neutral in a control circuit. I know you won't ever see relays out in the field, but the use of control relays is a big part of any industrial setting. I've noticed that some people will get confused when a relay is being controlled by a neutral and not a hot. Relay power terminals do not have polarity, so it doesn't matter which wire you put on the 7 or 2 to energize the coil.

Wow what a great video. Love it!!!

This is so helpful and practical.

Great video! Wish you would have explained about the safety equipment that you were using. Thanks!

Nice quick basic video of a multimeter, nice job

Would you please do a video on Fluke's wire tracer, and how to use tone and continuity functions.

Very useful in the field. Thanks

very instructive。Thank you

Great video! What and ending too. “Alright so that’s it 🤷‍♂️” - cuts to credits 😂 I was dying lol. Especially had me going how you said it with upward inflection like you were gonna say something else lmao. This vids getting a like

When you check for voltage power has to be on correct. Thanks for your knowledge.

Excelente información about how to use it, how to know which lead is negative or positive to touch hot wire correct?

Thank you !

Can you do a video on that other multimeter you showed in the beginning?

First of all thanks for the detailed videos. Can you do a video on how to do a bypass sub panel. Thanks

Thankyou very much

Dustin, Dustin still knocking it out of the park... when you moving up north?

With that initial spike in amperage with the motor being turned on, your breaker must also be rated to handle that spike. The spike was ~16Amps, so a 20Amp breaker would be sufficient?

Do you have a video on checking ohm on grounding rod ?

Excellent

Question, when your measuring resistance and you touch the prode with your bare hands, aren't you measuring the resistance of your body and not the metal conductor? (I'm not trained in the trade)

T5 is my favorite multimeter, just wish it could do current. Surprised the T6 is such dangerous junk (hand grounding pad).

All in w the Arc Flash Suit!

You should make a video about troubleshooting / bucking phases.. really any troubleshooting videos would be nice from you..

@DrunkHippos

wtf is a bucking phase

One bad thing about using the continuity setting to check a wire is that it will show complete continuity on a multi strand wire even if all but one strand are broken which is bad because that one intact strand will lead to thinking the wire is good and can handle the current when in most cases it will not handle the current which may lead to that wire over heating and causing a fire. Same thing applies when using the resistance setting.

@DrunkHippos

I cant imagine a scenario where the situation you described is even possible to cause a fire without a breaker tripping or whatever was connected to the circuit stop functioning. even if there is somehow only one strand connected inside of the insulation, it would evaporate itself under load and the circuit would break way faster than it would take to create any meaningful heat source to anything else

@jkbrown5496

@@cesarroca9988 You have to test under a load. They make testers that will put the line under load and test the voltage drop.

Always heard to turn off the power before working on wires but, what are safety procedures when using a multimeter(the power must be on) would you not get electrocuted?. Do we just wear insulation? Sorry I am ignorant about electricity but, learned alot from Electrician U's videos.

@AlexanderThaGreat746

You should always take safety measures but in order to get a reading for voltage or amperage the power must be on. ONLY when you are checking for (resistance) that circuit must be off. I’ve seen guys blow meters up with a back feed of electricity coming back to the meter when checking for resistance. Be safe and if you are not sure call a professional. Your life is worth more than whatever a service call may be. Hope that helped you

So sick

hi where did you get the face shield?

Help, I’m getting no voltage reading from one phase to ground within the sub panel. But if I touch the ground lead to a copper pipe next to my sub panel I get 118VAC

I would like to see the resistance differences between a multi stranded Cord Wire (more surface area) and a solid wire of the same size...

its to hold the reading on the screen. for example; if you have to reach high up (to the point where you can't see) to test any setting you can press hold and it'll still be on screen when you bring it back down to look.

If you are trying to take a reading when you can't see the display, you would press the hold button to hold the last value read.
