Most loop calibrators have a 24V loop power supply for powering and testing process transmitters. This is useful for testing transmitter off line from the circuit they are installed if they need calibration or are suspected of being defective. In this operating mode most loop calibrators provide the 24V loop power and simultaneously measure the 4 to 20 mA signal drawn by the transmitter.To test a transmitter in this mode, turn on loop power and select mA measure. Disconnect the transmitter from the...

Despite the business disruption caused by the pandemic,...

Resistance is measured using analog or digital multimeters. These tools also measure current, voltage, and more for various applications. Why measure resistance? To determine the condition of a circuit or component. The higher the resistance, the lower the current flow, and vice versa.In general, the resistance of components used to control circuits (such as switches and relay contacts) starts out very low and increases over time due to factors such as wear and dirt. Loads such as motors and solenoids...

Measuring DC voltage accurately is essential for diagnosing electrical systems, troubleshooting circuits, and ensuring proper functionality of components such as batteries, power supplies, and motors.

Guide to clamp meter symbols, buttons, display and dial functions.

The 4 mA to 20 mA current loop is a common method of transmitting sensor information in many industrial process monitoring applications—typically in systems monitoring pressure, temperature, pH, flow, or other physical factors. These systems employ a two-wire, 4 mA to 20 mA current loop, in which a single twisted-pair cable supplies power to a transmitter and also carries the output signal.The loop’s operation is straightforward: a sensor’s output voltage is first converted to a proportional...

An electric motor drives a fan in each area to ensure stable temperatures since temperature stability relates strongly to final product quality. Any changes from...

When you perform an energy or power quality survey you need to measure days or weeks of data, imagine the disappointment if when you return to the logger after that time you discover that you have failed to capture the correct measurements. The support teams at Fluke all too often get calls from users who don’t understand the measurements they have logged, usually they think the instrument is at fault. Usually though the problem is due to the user making a connection error, this can be due to incorrect...

What is IEC 61000-4-30 standard?The IEC 61000-4-30 standard ensures that the measurement results from Power Quality analyzers and loggers of different makes and models match up; so measurement results are comparable without any doubts. This is extremely important, especially when there is a dispute about supply voltage quality between different parties going on. To comply with this standard, the instruments should measure and evaluate in exactly the same way. The standard covers PQ phenomena like...

Power Quality loggers are often placed in the field for long periods, so most don’t have a display. Besides attracting attention and so increasing the chance of theft, a display is simply not needed as you don’t normally use a logger for troubleshooting. Successful analysis is therefore all about gathering data.Somehow, you need to communicate with the logger. You need to tell it what and how to measure, and then download the data. With no display, a logger’s communication links are critical,...

With all Power Meters, Power Quality Analyzers, Energy Loggers or Power Loggers you can measure quite a number of Power parameters. In fact, the number of variables these instruments can measure, log and store is in many cases overwhelming. Imagine yourself setting up, downloading and analyzing a 32GB file with a logging of 500+ parameters over a month period…..So, wishing for “I want to log everything” is in most cases not the best idea, and certainly not the most efficient way. This leaves...

Grid connected photovoltaic systems are growing in importance as sustainable energy sources.The DC power of the solar panels is converted into an AC power by inverters. These are transformerless and, besides generating AC current, also inject a small DC Current. Excessive DC current injection into an AC network can cause problems like transformer saturation, however, which will cause additional losses and reduce transformer lifetime. For measuring these DC components, we need a Power Quality Analyzer...
