Description

A front terminal voltmeter is a laboratory instrument used to measure voltage in electrical circuits. It is called “front terminal” because the electrical connections for the circuit under test are located on the front panel of the voltmeter, making them easily accessible.

The front terminal voltmeter usually consists of a digital or analog display, which shows the measured voltage, and a set of input terminals that allow the voltage to be measured. The voltmeter is designed to be connected in parallel to the two points in the circuit where the voltage is to be measured, with the voltage passing through the voltmeter and producing a reading on the display.

Front terminal voltmeters are commonly used in electrical and electronics laboratories, as well as in industrial and scientific settings, to measure the voltage of different components and circuits. They are available in different ranges and sensitivities, depending on the specific application.
