How would you zero the VOM on the direct current voltage?

To zero a VOM on DC voltage, leave it unconnected - in DC voltage mode - and then adjust the meter zero screw until it reads zero.


What are the function of different parts of VOM?

The VOM is in the classification of a multimeter. This means that the one meter can do several functions. VOM stands for Volt Ohm meter. In the voltage portion, the meter has the ability to measure a variety of voltages from fractional usually up to 1000 volts. This is both AC and DC voltages. In the ohms portion, the meter has the ability to find the resistance of components. On most good multi meter there is a continuity setting that will have a sound emitted if what you are testing has continuity through it. That setting is very useful in troubleshooting control panels to locate open and closed contacts in energized and de energised relays.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of the VOM as compared to the electrical measuring instrument?

As a VOM (volt-ohm meter) is one type of electrical measuring instrument, it is unclear how to answer this question. It is almost as if you had asked "What are the advantages and disadvantages of the banana as compared to the edible plant part?"


What voltages should never be measured directly with a VOM?

A VOM 'Voltage Meter' measures from a electrical outlet. Any voltage over a 1000 should never be measured directly with it.

Use a VOM meter. Set it to Ohms and touch one lead to each end, or in the case of an auto fuse, each "spade" connector..
