LoZ meters are valuable tools for identifying ghost voltages and compromised voltage sources that exhibit high impedance upstream. When troubleshooting AC mains circuits, it is generally recommended to use the LoZ mode. This mode introduces a load at the test point, which proves advantageous because the circuits being tested are typically of low impedance compared […]

Frequently asked questions about Basic Circuits. Q. What is an electric circuit?A. It is a continuous loop of conductive material that allows current to flow from one side of a […]
If an electric range or dryer is not heating, the element may not even be getting voltage. What if the element “ohms” out? If the 240v load in an appliance is not energized, sometimes just “ohming” things out doesn’t tell you what you need to know. Please note that this guide is for qualified technicians […]
