A diagnostic device like this allows for fast, accurate and above all, safe, current measurement at the fuse box to provide a reading. If a vehicle has a battery drain problem, for example, a tester like this can be used to identify where the potential battery drain could be, allowing further investigation. A current tester is most commonly used in any kind of automotive environments like a mechanic’s garage or diagnostics environment but can also be used in other environments where fuses and electrical circuits are found. How does the current tester work? A current tester checks faults on electrical fuses, most commonly found within the automotive industry. It plugs straight into the fuse box thanks to the adapter and if a fault is present, it will show up on the display of the tester. Most often, it will be a blown or broken fuse that will trigger to show a fault, in which case it is as simple as replacing the fuse with a new one. However, it can also display a fault if there is a bigger technical issue that concerns the fuse box, in which case the technician or vehicle electrician will complete further investigation to find the root of the issue.
