Objection
to learn to operate and use universal power supply and
multimeter correctly.
Familiarize with various part of universal power supply and
multimeter.
2.0 : EQUIPMENT AND APPARATUS
2.1 : Universal power supply
2.2 : multimeter

3.0 : USE IN EXTREME CAUTIONS

3.1 : While measuring the resistance of part of the circuit
make sure the power supply is switch “off”

4.0 : THEORY
4.1 : Universal power supply
Unit supplies can adjust to DC and AC power voltages

UNIVERSAL POWER SUPPLY PART AND FUNCTIONS

1 : The main switch used for ON or OFF the power supplies
2 : The output voltage selector switch used to select the
range of supply between AC or DC
3 : smooting switch used to optimized voltage of DC by
switching the power ON, mean while by switching OFF the
power supply, AC current will maximum output
4 : DC output socket used in DC connection lead supply
5 : Earthing terminal used in AC supply to connect part of
electrical appliances under the test of AC supply
6 : AC output socket used in AC supply to connect the lead
7 : Voltage divider know as output adjustment knob used as
adjuster of voltage output
8 : Digital voltmeter display of DC or AC voltage value that
used for measured
9 : Digital ampmeter display of DC or AC current value that
used for measured

MULTIMETER
MULTIMETER is measuring instrument.it use for
measures current,voltmeter measures the pontential
different(voltage) between two point,and ohmmeter
measures resistance.it combines funtionn into single
instrument.multimeter have teo types analogue and
digital multimeter.

Functions of a multimeter
1-scale for read the quantity measured
2-indication needle use for indicated the quantity measured
3-Zero positioning screw using to adjust needle at zero point on
the scale.
4-zero positioning knob for setting the needle at zero point on
the right side of the meter.
5-the funtion of range to selected ranged of measurement.
6-range selection knob to selected range of measurement.
PROCEDURES
MEASURING DC/AC VOLTAGE USING AN ANALOUGE
MULTIMETER

Using universal power supply adjust scale to 50VDC/VDC.

Insert the meter probes securely into the meter terminal
following the colour code.
Adjust approprite scale VDC/VAC at range (0-300VDC/VAC)
is safe range.
Touch the meter probes at the output terminals of panel and take
reading on the meter.
MEASURING RESISTANCE(OHM)USING ANALOGUE
MULTIMETER
Insert the meter probes securely into terminals.
Select range to the’ Ω’ range.
Set the meter suitable resistance range, 1 ohm
Hold the meter probes together and adjust the control on the
front of meter,is usually labelled ‘0ΩADJ’ until pointer reads
zero on the right.
After done setting needle to’0’ position,probes across these
component.
The table below show result and data section.
No. Component Resistance
1 Lamp 60w97Ω
2 Connecting cable ∞
3 Between your two hands Continounty

Discussion
6.1 what is the purpose of a fuse in a multimeter?
The purpose fuse in multimeter is to break current when current flow
more than range we set.

6.2if needle still fails to be zero(0)position even after zero knob

is adjusted,what can possibly be the reason?what action can
be taken iin this case?
The posisiby reason is battery in multimeter is weak.change new battery.

6.3list out the ‘dos’and ‘don’ts’ in order to ensure the safety and
long life of a mutimeter

6.4 what happens if the indication needle is not positioned to

zero when measuring?
Conclusion
At the conclusion we knew the part at universal power supply
and multimeter.besides we also knew funtion of multimeter
and universal power supply and multimeter,how to use
correctly.we also knew to ranges probe at multimeter and
how to reading at multimeter.
