About This Product
External components are connected to the board, and readings from a voltmeter and ammeter on its input connections can be plotted as a graph of current against voltage. The tester limits the input voltage and current to values that will not damage any of the components. It can be used with the Puzzle Box or the Component Investigations Board, which each provide a selection of components ready to test. Besides buyers across India, the Component Tester can be exported to institutions in Djibouti, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Honduras and Turkmenistan.
