When Fluke introduced its first true-RMS current clamp meter in the early 1990’s it was a huge breakthrough in helping technicians get to the root cause of overheated transformers, hot neutrals, and circuit breakers tripping for no apparent reason. Its true-RMS capability was indispensable in ...
Reopening the world in the wake of a pandemic brings new health and safety concerns. Much of the emphasis has been on personal hygiene, such as hand washing, social distancing, and face covering. But as industries begin to open, a new normal awaits them where personal hygiene must extend to...
Some people wonder why they shouldn’t do such a thermometer speed test in food, since that is where they actually use their thermometers. The answer is that, under most circumstances,different places in the same foods are all at radically different temperatures. And those temperatures areactually...
This Fluke multimeter is used by the cast of Discovery's new show "Prototype This!" Copyright Discovery Communications, LLC If you work with electronics and electrical systems, chances are very good you've heard about -- and likely own -- a multimeter. But to give the rest of us a ...
IMO since we are dealing with voltage control, measuring voltage - among other things - can be useful. A meter certainly provides more information than a blinky LED. With my older 1/4" experiments I just clipped the probes to a bare 1/4" jack. On my more recent projects I include a ...
Contrary to the original experiment brief (indicating the use of only one meter), it is necessary to use two meters – one for the amps and one for the volts. The reason is that readings of voltage and current need to be taken simultaneously to ensure that the pairs match up correctly....
And check :) Air temp with ambient on my fluke And stored value with boiling stiff water temp from my kitchen :) Described method also applies very well for Type-T thermocouple type: Here’s example with Omega 30 meter wire from eBay, welded together withPSU. ...
Large machinery often requires a big surge of electricity to get started – electricians have to make sure the rest of the system can support that occasional big surge in demand. That surge is called inrush and it causes other problems than just overall supply. Fluke clamps use proprietary tec...
but sometimes you can find a good working used or reconditioned one at a very reasonable price . Some of the top brands are Ludlum, Mirion, Fluke, and Thermo. I also consider our 36 year old company,International Medcom, to be a top brand but I need to disclose that I have some bias...
Connect the leads of the capacitor to the multimeter terminals. You can use a relative mode to measure the capacitance of the test leads relative to one another. This can be handy for low capacitance values that may be more difficult to detect. ...
