∙ 10y agoA megohm meter is an insulation test instrument. If the project requires an insulation test to be done then this is what you should use. A "megger" will apply a DC voltage up to 1000 volts on the conductor to see if there is a breakdown in the insulation value.

∙ 10y agoTo measure resistance, and to check continuity.
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.
A: Checking continuity is the same as checking resistance, therefore yes someone can determine the resistance at that particular current level
In shortg circuit current is infinitive.
Method #1:Bring the ends together. Use ohm-meter to measure resistance between the ends.Compare with manufacturer's specification for the cable's resistance per 100-ftor 100-m.Method #2: Only possible if the cable has more than 1 conductor.At one end of the cable, connect two conductors together. At the other end, use anohm-meter to measure the resistance between the same two conductors. If the metershows open-circuit, then at least one of those conductors is broken in the cable.
"''Megging'' a circuit refers to a process of testing the insulation resistance of the circuit to detect any faults or potential breakdowns. This is commonly done using a megohmmeter, also known as a ''megger,'' to measure the resistance between conductors or between conductors and ground."

You need to make a complete circuit to test continuity. If the transformer neutral is grounded then you can use just one end of a wire. Measure the wire end to ground will check continuity of the wire. The reading will follow the wire back to the ground point of the transformer there by forming a circuit that can be measured as open or closed. Using this procedure, the power can be shut off and the reading will be taken using the meters power.
You can use a multimeter to measure voltage, current, and resistance at different points in the circuit. Check for continuity between components and ensure that all connections are secure. Visual inspection for signs of damage or loose connections can also help determine if the components are properly connected.

If you refer to the unit, that is the ampere.AnswerCurrent is measured in amperes (symbol: A) which is defined in terms of its magnetic effect -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to their magnetic fields.
To measure current in circuit
In an electric circuit, the ground does not prevent current from flowing. Instead, it provides a safe path for electrical current to return to the earth in the event of a fault. It's a protective measure to prevent electrical shock hazards by maintaining the voltage stability in the circuit. The normal operation of the circuit isn't affected by the grounding system.
Never probe airbag wiring with a power probe or multi-meter unless you have isolated the circuit by disconnecting both the airbag module and airbag component. As long as you have disconnected these you will be fine.
