I'm looking to measure the voltage of fruits, vegetables and the metal in my mouth. Will this work?

depends on the voltage output of the fruits and vegetables... for instance if an apple puts out more than 4.2v DC it will.

This is a simple Volt Ohm Meter. It works, and was quite cheap. I use it for small projects like testing battery status, but it might work fine for your task. Obviously there are many available at Amazon that are of much higher quality, but the price will be more. I would expect you should be able to test areas of your circuit to see where current is still being applied when the switch is off. Do take notice of the ratings for what it can handle.

If you are trying for voltage you can use this tester. If you looking for anperage you need a multimeter. I need a little more information to properly answer your question. But if you need volts in an outlet you need to set meter to ac current and plug one probe into hot terminal on outlet and other probe to neutral or ground.

I have personally used it to test 480 volts. I am sure it would indicate 1000 volts, however I would not use this tool to test 1000 volts. Proper high voltage safety protective clothing and proper training is required.

Yes, I just tried it and it works but since those batteries are 3 volts it is hard to know if it is reading it right. It "pegged" out a new battery and I suspect that it will tell you if a 3V is very weak or dead, but not "low" since a "low 3v" would probably still produce more than 1.5v. By the way, this tester has already saved me it's cost in batteries I would have otherwise thrown away.

You can but it will activate the circuit because it's probe voltage is too high, so it's really not meant to. If you want to do in circuit measurements get a dedicated ESR meter. The ESR function on this device isn't really very accurate anyway, it's mainly useful for transistor testing and LCR.

This type of tool can sense a hot circuit through both the individual leads's insulation and the sheath insulation. However, I don't know if this particular product will reliably do so. I have had to spend more time and effort than I would like getting a result that I was certain I could trust. Please note Trina Buchanan's response, too; she has the credentials. A different model or brand might be better for you.

Use what you got :), I would start by having it hooked up and take readings with my VOM to compare all hookups to verify accuracy of all readings.

No you can measure voltage and current and it is a true rms meter but you cant measure both at the same time.

Measures AC/DC Voltage up to 1000V, AC/DC current, resistance, frequency, capacitance, temperature, and duty cycle

This is a Voltage detector, It "will" detect voltage regardless of where it is used, However, it haslimitations, the lower voltage limit, and the Upper voltage limit.also, it is battery powered, so you (SHOULD) test it on a known LIVE source to test it,then use it on your item. It should be used often to gain confidence, as it could NOTwork, and you think it's OK to work on something, and it's STILL LIVE, but this detector,Did NOT indicate it is LIVE ! Just be Careful. You are trusting this with your LIFE !!!!

I believe that this device works well for EMF; but, I need a debice that is inexpensive to measure ion levels in my home environment

Sorry, this one won't be suitable for such accuracy. For making effective low-ohms measurements you're going to really want something that does 4-wire Ohms measurements as the I·R losses in the measurement wires will be significant if the total resistance under test is so low. Unfortunately those do tend to run several hundred dollars at a minimum.

The unit is designed to measure voltage, amperage, resistance (ohms), dc, ac, at all levels. So whether it is a computer, TV, Stereo, outlets or lights it is a terrific tool to diagnose problems in those areas assuming you know with the readings should be. I used it to measure brownouts in my neighborhood when the power company would lower the voltage during peak demand periods. I saw the voltage drop from a normal 120 VAC to 108 and when I lost some electronics, the power company reimbursed me. As voltage drops current increases (ohms law) so the electronics get fried. I hope his helps.

Sorry Calvin, I think this a great meter, however, I only use it to check the voltage on my AA and AAA batteries and rechargeable batteries from Amazon..... Works Great ! Phil Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

I don't think any clamp-on inductive style ammeter is going to be that accurate. Even the really top end ones are probably +-0.2 amps or so. You need the type that has actual wire connections.
