Step 1: Open the electrical box Open the circuit breaker box and locate the switch that corresponds to the area you want to test. Tip Turn off or unplug the electric devices in the area to avoid a power surge. Step 2: Test the switch Determine whether the breaker is in the On or Off position. If it's off, flip to the On position. Tip If the breaker trips after a few seconds, there may be a problem with the wiring. Step 3: Connect the prongs Touch one of the multimeter's prongs to the terminal screw, and touch the other prong to the ground screw. Step 4: Check the readout Check the readout on the multimeter or look for an indicator light. If no voltage is indicated, then no power is reaching the breaker and it will need to be replaced. Did You Know? A volt is the measure of the unit of the force that sends electrons through a circuit. Q9iEg0TRreE |
