Electrical Maintenance Instruments You Must Have

These are the important electrical instruments' list which you must have as an electrician especially working on ships or industry. Eectrical instruments are those instruments that uses to measure voltage, power, current, resistance and so on… Electrical technicians require electrical measurement equipment to check the electrical activity and to detect the presence of voltage or current or resistance in a circuit of electrical line. By using this instrument we can measure electrical parameters such as voltage, frequency, current, power factor, and resistance. Electrical measurements are depended upon either current or voltage while measuring the frequency we will be measuring the frequency of a current signal or a voltage signal.

List of Electrical Maintenance Instruments

Now we will move on to the classification and discussion of electrical instruments. Electrical instruments are classified according to the electrical quantity or the measured characteristics. It is also classified according to the type of test function, according to the current that can be measured by them. Well, below is the list of electrical instruments which are basic instruments, and every electrician should have these electrical instruments.

1. An ammeter. (Or a digital multi-meter, it has every function). - Measures current
2. A galvanometer - Measures current
3. A voltmeter. (Or a digital multi-meter, it has every function). - Measures current
4. Current clamp meter. - Measures current
5. Leakage tester. - Measures leakage across the plates of a capacitor
6. Frequency counter.
7. Meggar tester. - Measures Resistance of an Winding of Motor or Generator And Measures Earthing's Resistance
8. Oscilloscope - Displays waveform of a signal, allows measurement of frequency, timing, peak excursion, offset, ...
9. Signal Generator - Generates signals for testing purposes
10. Watt meter - Measures power in a circuit

These are some important electrical maintenance instruments which you must have as an electrician, especially working on ships. If anything you think is missing, write below in the comment section so we can add here for others' help.
