 MEASUREMENT
Measurement is the process or the result of
determining the ratio of a physical quantity, such
as a length, time, temperature, etc.
The science of measurement is called metrology.
 MEASURING TOOLS AND INSTRUMENTS
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 and other
important elements in electrical works.
 THREE ELECTRICAL
DEFINITION
QUANTITIES SYMBOL UNIT OF
MEASUREMENT

VOLTAGE Is the pressure from an E or V Volt (V)

electrical circuit’s power
source that pushes charged
electrons (current) through a
conducting loop.
CURRENT Is the rate at which charge is I Ampere
flowing. (A)
RESISTA is a material’s tendency to R Ohm (Ω)
NCE resist the flow of
charge(current).
Test Light
is a pocket size
tool used to test
the
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
Ruler/foot
rule
is a measuring
tool used to
measure length,
width and
thickness of short
flat object and in
Pull-Push
Rule
is a measuring
tool used to
measure the
length of an object
in centimeter
and inches
Wire Gauge is used in
determining the size of
wires/conductors. The gauge
ranges from 0 to 60 AWG
(American Wire Gauge)
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
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 clamped or
hanged in a
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.
