A pocket-size tool used to test the line wire or circuit if there is current in it
Micrometer
Used to measure the diameter of wires/conductors in circular mils. It can measure small and big sizes of wires and cables
Wire Gauge
Used in determining the size of wires/conductors. The gauge ranges from 0 to 60 awg (American wire gauge)
Ruler/foot rule
A measuring tool used to measure length, width, and thickness of short flat objects and in sketching straight lines
Ruler
The instrument used to rule straight lines and the calibrated instrument used for determining length called a measure
Pull-Push Rule
A measuring tool used to measure the length of an object in centimeters and inches
Ammeter
An instrument used to measure the amount of electrical current intensity in a circuit. The unit of measure is ampere (a). It is connected along or series to the circuit
Voltmeter
An instrument used to measure the electrical pressure or voltage of a circuit. The unit of measure is volt (v). This is connected across or parallel to the circuit
Clamp Ammeter (also called tong-tester)
Used to measure the current flowing in a conductor. It is clamped or hanged in a conductor
Volt-Ohmmeter (VOM)
Otherwise called a Multi-tester; is used to measure the voltage, resistance, and current of a circuit. It is connected in parallel or series with the circuit depending on what to measure
Megger
An instrument used to measure the insulation resistance of a wire
