Abstract:

The digital multimeter, DMM, is the most common item among the test gadgets available in the electronic device market today. While there are many other test gadgets, the multimeter can supply outstanding readings of the basic measurements of ohms, amps, and volts. This study aimed to provide safety for the electrical workers when dealing with electronics and provide ease when testing electrical wirings for convenience and better focus of the electrical worker. Electrical inspectors and investigators potentially expose themselves to some risk while doing inspections and investigations. Eliminating or limiting risk is the key to accident prevention while doing the job in the field of electronics. For this reason, the researchers decided to create a project that will serve as personal protective equipment and a measuring device to maximize safety when dealing with electronics and ease of access to the measurement device. This project is a safety glove with a multimeter function paired with safety goggles that displays the reading in the lens in front of the goggles. This project can measure the voltage, frequency, diode test, continuity, and resistance of electrical wiring through the test probes placed on the index and thumb of the gloves. It also has a continuity test, diode test, and frequency test. The multimeter reading will appear in the lens in front of the glasses using a Bluetooth connection. The project proved to become useful through testing conducted by different persons working in the line of electronics. The researchers recommend further modification to the project to improve the performance and appearance of the project.
