Which Range on a Multimeter is Used to Measure Leakage Current?

[LeDonovan]

Use the RX10K range on the multimeter to measure leakage current. Introduction to Multimeters: A multimeter is a versatile, multi-range, and portable electronic instrument that can be used to measure various physical quantities such as DC current, voltage, AC current, voltage, audio level, and transistor amplification factor. It consists of a multi-function meter head, measuring leads, a selector switch, and test probes. Multimeters can be categorized into analog and digital types. Analog multimeters use a magnetoelectric measuring mechanism as the core and display measurements via a pointer, while digital multimeters employ a digital voltmeter and work with different converters to display measurements on an LCD screen. Their measurement ranges include DC voltage, DC current, AC current, and resistance. Usage Precautions: When measuring resistance, ensure the circuit's power supply is disconnected before proceeding; do not touch the metal parts of the test leads; avoid using electrical switches when measuring voltage or current; when measuring DC, ensure correct polarity of the test leads; use specialized insulated test rods for high-voltage measurements, implement proper insulation protection measures, and assign a dedicated supervisor.
