Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #469 (Set 16)

What is an ohmmeter used to measure?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — circuit resistance

An ohmmeter is an electrical test instrument designed to measure circuit resistance in ohms. Per IEEE 45 standards, the circuit must be completely de-energized (off-line) prior to measurement to prevent meter damage from external voltages and to ensure accurate, isolated component resistance values.
