What are the Steps in AC

Voltage Measurement
using Multimeter
Group:1
Step 1: Take Precautions!
• We have used Mastech MAS830L Digital Multimeter. If you don't have it, please buy
one from market near you or order it online from eBay or which ever site you prefer. I
got this from market.

You must take the following precautions:

1. NEVER touch the probe tips

2. Always try to put the probe in correct position

3. Put the regulator in the correct position before taking any reading
Step 2: Put the Probe in Correct Position
• First, set the multimeter in the range where V~ is written and point it at 600
Step 4: This Step Is Very Important!
• Now, you must be careful in which terminal you are connecting red probe.
Since you are measuring voltage, connect it to VΩmA. If you connect it to
10ADC, then say RIP to your appliance.
Step 5: Connect to AC Mains
• Watch out for Ground and Live wire! Then connect black probe to one of the
LIVE wire and red probe to the other LIVE wire!
• If you want to hold this reading, press hold button. (Marked as circle in the
above image)
Step 6: Time for Removing the Probes
• You have safely and successfully measured the AC voltage!
• Now when you want to remove the probes, first remove the red one and then the black
one.
• So do it in the presence of an adult (or your teachers) if you are nervous, wear rubber
shoes and gloves for extra safety.
