(3)
Connect red probe to test location closest to positive (+) side. Connect probe to test location closest to
ground.
(4)
Observe readout and interpret results as DC voltage in circuit being tested.
c.
DC Voltage Drop Examples.
(1)
Good Voltage Drop.
(a) Multimeter "A" is used to measure voltage drop across a good splice connection. Voltage reading at
multimeter "A" should be low (about 0.1 volt). This means that resistance across this splice is low,
resulting in low voltage drop.
