Common Electrical Measuring Tools and Instruments

It is a pocket size tool used to test the line wire or circuit if there is current in it.

• TEST LIGHT

• MICROMETER

• RULER OR FOOT RULE

• WIRE GAUGE

2. It is used to measure the diameter of wires/conductors in circular mils. It can measure small and big sizes of wires and cables.
