c. Abstraction
MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENT
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. This
topic, will tackle the function/use of each
measuring tool and instrument used in doing an
electrical task. Different kinds of measuring tools
and precision measuring instruments are as
follows: (Student read the description of one of
Test Light is a pocket size tool used to test the measuring tools/instruments)
line wire or circuit if there is current in it.
Micrometer is used to measure the diameter of
wires/conductors in circular mils. It can measure
small and big sizes of wires and cables.
Wire Gauge is used in determining the size of
wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to 60 awg
(American wire gauge). (Student read the description of one of
Ruler/foot rule is a measuring tool used to measure measuring tools/instruments)
length, width and thickness of short flat object and in
sketching straight lines
Pull-Push Rule is a measuring tool used to
measure the length of an object in centimeter and
inches
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.
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 (Student read the description of one of

Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM) otherwise called as Multi-
tester; is used to measure the voltage, resistance and
current of a circuit. It is connected in parallel or series
with the circuit depending on what to measure.
