Set the multimeter to continuity test mode.
-
Verify that the positive lead is plugged to the voltmeter/ ohmmeter outlet.
-
-
-
-
Test for a potential open circuit by using one multimeter lead to touch one of the prongs on the AC side of power cord. Use the other lead to touch one end of the console side of the power cord.
-
Repeat the above directions in step 2 for the other outlet and prong of the power cord.
Est-il possible de brancher sur une autre prise alimentée pour savoir si cordon et appareil sont non défectueux ??? Sans danger; faire sauter fusibles etc. Merci.
Could that be the problem why I am not getting but just a tad of electricity to my outlets I'm not getting enough power to run anything?

-
Test for a potential short circuit by touching each prong on the AC side of the power cord.
-
If your power cord has passed all of the steps above, then you have successfully tested that your power cord is in working order.
is there a guide like this very useful one but to test the surface power cords ?

Wow Wow Just a Great Guide, Now I have learned one more skill :)
Brilliant love it
Worked like a charm I feelik an electrician
I found this really wonderful and useful with details explained very well. I was always wondering what the electricians do with a multimeter. Now iI would buy one multimeter and do this on my own. Great and cool guide. Write more guides for other tests and verification.
great job i love
Superb...thanks a lot!!
Thank you….. very useful
Great guide very helpfull.
Now I know how to test a power cord.
How do I test a switch?
Can you do a continuity test on the Xbox One Original CONSOLE ?
if one side of an extension lead is permently connected to electricity and it's unreachable, is it ok to test it from one side only?
can i check an extension cord from one side?
does it should the electricity switched off, even if i’m using a proper testing machine?
How can I test a cable if one end is in the basement and the other end is on the second floor?
To test a cable with ends in different locations, you can use a continuity tester with a remote. These testers include a main unit and a remote probe that connects to one end of the cable. Place the remote device on one end (e.g., the basement) and use the main unit on the other end (e.g., the second floor). The tester will indicate continuity if the cable is intact, making it easy to test cables over long distances without additional wires or helpers.
