Multimeter & Float Switch Basics - Troubleshooting, Testing & Level Operation for Pumps #floatswitch

Step by step on how a float switch works and what a bad float switch looks like when testing it. Fluke Meter Link: https://amzn.to/4dZPvZZ Cheaper Model Link: https://amzn.to/3QrXTIB A float switch is a type of contact liquid level sensor that uses a float to operate a switch. Float switches are commonly used to control other devices such as alarms and pumps when a liquid level rises or falls to a specific point. While there are some mechanical float switches (similar to the float in a toilet tank that turns off the incoming water when the tank is “full”), this video will focus on electrical float switches, floats that are used to open and close (i.e., turn off and on) electrical circuits. Float switches are also often sought after because they are cost-effective, reliable, and can be used with a wide variety of liquids. In this article, we will dive into common uses of float switches, both normally open float switches and normally closed float switches. https://amzn.to/3IJk9tI Chapters: 0:00 Multimeter Setting 0:31 Simulating Bad Float 2:10 Normal Float Operation
