Continuity test is a checking and verify the current flow in the electric circuit between two paths. A continuity test is important to determines any breaks or issues in the flow of current an electrical circuit.

In a continuity test, a small voltage is applied to the two points of the circuit is a quick check to see if a circuit is open or closed. Only a closed circuit is a complete circuit (one that time we can hear the one beep sound) has continuity. 

Continuity test very important test in any circuit. Various uses of continuity tests are:

  • To find the wire connection inside the circuit. These wires may be broken.
  • It is used to identify the damaged component.
  • It is also used for checking the quality of soldering.
  • If conductors are open or shorted.
  • It is used for identifying a specific wire or electrical connection.

Which meter is used for continuity testing of electrical equipment?

There are mainly two methods for the continuity of a circuit using a multimeter.

The first method is to use the continuity mode in the multimeter.

The second method is to use the Ohmmeter.
