Based on a white paper by Neil Faulkner and Jeff Gust, Fluke CalibrationFluke 8588A Reference MultimeterAbstractHistorically, analog null meters, also called analog null detectors, have been used to determine zero voltage conditions in metrological applications. When digital multimeters (DMMs) became available with sensitivity comparable to null meters, they were adopted quickly, and analog null meters were set aside. However, depending on the circuit and the DMM, significant measurement errors can...

As I promised in my last column, this "Solid Ground" column deals with transformers and grounding. Let's start by addressing some definitions. Opinions differ on the "official" definition of "distribution" transformer.

The first step in evaluating a building's energy use involves an energy audit. This consists of various home performance tests which identify opportunities to reduce energy use. Once the audit is complete, various weatherization techniques are performed to improve the energy efficiency of the building, often called 'weatherizing'.

Cogeneration - also known as combined heat and power or CHP - is the process of generating electricity and usable heat at the same time. The term has a modern, "green energy" ring to it, but cogeneration has been around since Edison's Pearl Street Station used heat from its turbines to warm the buildings of lower Manhattan in the 1880s.
