What are the black and red things hanging off a multimeter?
They are called test leads, you would use them to connect the multimeter to the points that are to be tested.
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
Where could one purchase some Multimeter Test Leads?
Multimeter test leads can be purchased at specialty stores like Radio Shack or some larger hardware stores. They can also be found online at Amazon and eBay.
How do you test a thyristor module using multimeter?
You can check if it is shorted, but without coordinating the gate and anode voltages with the cathode, you cannot test a thyrister (SCR) with a multimeter. Check it out of circuit for shorts, then check the circuit, then test it in operation. Anything more advanced will require an oscilloscope.
What is the purpose of the continuity test?
A device to test if wires are electrically connected. Typically a small lightbulb and a battery are used.
