Pocket Multimeters
Pocket Multimeters are handheld devices that can be kept in your pocket that are able to measure electrical values including voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms) in electrical components and circuits. Pocket Multimeters are essential small measuring instruments for any engineers or technician's toolbox who need to take measurements, test or repair equipment in electrical or electronic industries. Pocket digital multimeters (DMM) are also popular for use within the home.
Pocket multimeters are extremely easy and convenient to carry around with you and are able to give you all the measurements you require. These battery powered devices are great for continuity and portability and usually have an LCD display where the measurement readouts can be viewed.
RS have a great range of high quality multimeters from leading brands such as Aim-TTi, Amprobe, Beha-Amprobe, BK Precision, Chauvin Arnoux, FLIR, Fluke, Gossen Metrawatt, Keysight Technologies, RS PRO and many more.
What do multimeters do?
Multimeters check the electrical resistance within a circuit. A digital pocket multimeter is a great tool for testing, diagnosing and troubleshooting electrical circuits, components and devices and are essential to electronic engineers and electricians
Most common checks include:
- AC voltage or DC voltage
- AC current or DC current
- Resistance
- Continuity of electrical components
- Temperature
- Some advance models may measure frequency and have True RMS voltage and current readings
