Metravi 250TR Analogue Multimeter

A. Product Overview

The Metravi 250TR Analogue Multimeter is a multi-function analogue measuring instrument designed for standard electrical measurements. It comes with an easy-to-read analogue display and rotary selector switch for selecting different measurement ranges.

This multimeter can measure DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current and resistance. It also supports battery testing for 1.5V and 9V batteries, making it useful for routine electrical checking and maintenance work.

The meter is compact and lightweight, with catalogue-listed dimensions of 116 x 65 x 35 mm and weight of around 195 g. It operates using a 1.5V IEC LR6 battery and includes fuse protection. The instrument is also listed with CAT-II 300V overvoltage category and pollution degree 2, making it suitable for general electrical testing applications.

B. Working Principle

The Metravi 250TR works on the principle of analogue meter movement. When voltage, current or resistance is measured, the internal circuit converts the electrical input into a proportional movement of the pointer on the analogue scale.

For voltage measurement, the meter is connected across the circuit or component. For current measurement, it is connected in series with the circuit. For resistance measurement, the meter uses its internal battery to pass a small test current through the component and shows the resistance value on the scale.

The analogue needle movement helps users observe variations and fluctuations in readings, which can be useful during troubleshooting where a digital reading may change too quickly or may not show gradual movement clearly.

C. Why It Is Used

The Metravi 250TR Analogue Multimeter is used for checking and troubleshooting common electrical and electronic circuits. It helps users identify voltage presence, current flow, resistance value, battery condition and continuity-related issues.

It is useful for:

Checking AC and DC voltage in electrical circuits
