Beginner Friendly! I have produced a second tutorial video about learning to use a Digital Multimeter (DMM) with DIY solar power. In this Part 2 video, I will teach you how do basic measurements and checks against some solar power components.
In the video I will also be reviewing my Gochifix 3-in-1 digital multimeter and oscilloscope from Banggood. While I received the meter for review, I do not receive any commission for sales or for giving my opinions. If you want to check out the Gochifix 3-in-1, click here (Amazon link provided by Banggood for the review).
Topics include:
- Checking DC-AC inverters for common fault conditions
- Checking waveform with digital oscilloscope
- Inverter Short circuit
- Inverter Open circuit
- Inverter Floating Ground
- Inverter Normal resistance readings
- Checking BMS Battery Management Systems
- Measuring lithium ion pack cell voltage
- Measuring lithium ion main pack voltage
- Bypass or rectifier diode checks
- Continuity check
…and much more!
