    SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT

    System of measurement is a set of units which


    can be used to specify anything can be
    measured.

    Common units of measurement used in


    making layout and installation of electrical
    materials.
    A. LINEAR MEASURES
    1. English system provides the creative way on how
    people can measure by themselves.
    For example, people measure shorter distance on the
    ground with their feet. They measure long distances by
    their palms which is equal to a yard.
    • Inch
    • Yard
    • Miles
    A. LINEAR MEASURES
    2. Metric system is a decimalized system of
    measurement. Metric units are widely used around
    the world for personal, commercial and scientific
    purpose.
    • Millimeter
    • Centimeter
    • Decimeter
    • Meter
    B. ENGLISH UNITS AND
    EACH EQUIVALENT
    12 inches = foot(ft)
    1 foot = 3yard (yd)
    1 yard = 36 inches
    C. METRIC UNITS AND
    EACH EQUIVALENT

    10millimeter (mm) = 1centimeter (cm)


    10centimeter = 1decimeter(dm)
    10 decimeter = 1meter
    D. ENGLISH TO METRIC
    EQUIVALENT
    1 inch = 2.54 cm
    1 foot = 30.48 cm
    1 yard = 91.44 cm
    E. THE CENTIMETER
    GRADUATION
    HOW TO READ THE INCH
    GRADUATION
    1. First graduation is 1/16
    2. Second graduation is 18
    3. Third graduation is 3/16
    4. Fourth graduation is 1/4, then follow the given
    scale above.
    Converting the unit of measurement from English
    to metric and vice versa
    Example:
    1. 12 inches = ________ cm
    Since
    12 inches = 2.54 cm
    1 inch
    12 x 2.54 cm
    1
    Therefore: 12 inches = 30.48 cm
    E. THE CENTIMETER
    GRADUATION
    The graduation shows that every digit is .5mm
    How to read the cm graduation:
    1. First graduation is .5 mm
    2. Second graduation is 1mm
    3. Third graduation is 1.5mm
    4. Fourth graduation is 2mm
    Note: If the graduation reaches 10mm, it is equivalent
    to 1cm.
    THE
    MULTITESTER
    INTRODUCTION
    The Multitester or multimeter is sometimes
    called the VOM (voltmeter, ohmmeter,
    milliammeter). It is the best instrument that can
    measure voltage, resistance and current. It is
    generally made of two types: the analog and the
    digital.
    A. PARTS OF A MULTI TESTER
    A. Proper care and maintenance of the
    multi tester
    1. Read manual of instructions on how to operate the multi-
    tester.
    2. In reading the amount of voltage, always start with the
    highest range to avoid reading voltage higher than the
    tester setting.
    3. Be sure that the tester is set to the correct range setting:
    resistance range when measuring the ohm, voltage range
    when measuring voltage and ammeter range when
    measuring the value of electric current.
    A. Proper care and maintenance of the
    multi tester
    4. Always check the condition of its battery. Worn out
    batteries will damage the internal setting of the tester.

    5. When the tester is not in used or will be stored, set


    the selector switch to 1000V or to OFF position.

    6. Never drop the tester.


    B. How to read the meter scale of the
    multi tester
    The unit of measurement to be used to determine its
    resistance is ohm.
