about infinity

Sponsored Links
A reading in the given range that is higher than the meter is able to measure, usually with regard to resistance.
 
Think of the biggest number you possibly can, and then add one onto it.

That is infinity.

If you test a circuit and it has a resistance of infinity, then basically the resistance is to high to even register on the meter.

Basically, too large to measure. If its resistance, it means there is no continuity - resistance is infinity.

If its voltage, panic.

add another six 9's............ infinity got bigger last week...... :LOL:
 
Hi
Could you please explain to me what is it mean infinity on the multimeter.
Thank you

It means that the reading you have obtained is larger then the scale setting of your meter and should be recorded as such:

If your scale is set to 200 MegOhms then you record >200MOhms.

You never write the infinity symbol or 'INF' in your cert. As a real-life number that is meaningless.
