How to diagnose a high voltage surge arrester with a Fluke thermal imaging camera.

The most important step in any measurement process is setting up your measurement device correctly. Do this incorrectly and you can find out your data is useless after a measurement cycle of days or weeks. That means starting all over again—if you can.

Variable-speed motors and drives are normally much more efficient than fixed-speed types, but even they don’t always work at peak efficiency. An analysis of VSDs at one drinking water pumping station helped save over 20% of energy costs – repaying many thousands of Euros every year.Load measurement at input and output of a VSD The main energy cost for water companies comes from pumping water up from the well and through the network. Variable-speed drives match output to demand and so help minimize...

How to find the root cause of production line stoppage and reduce downtime in manufacturing.

Every process technician knows that the most difficult part about doing calibration in the field is getting all the hoses connected properly. Using the thread seal tape to seal up all the connections and having to take the time to reseal every time you perform calibrations. Not only is that time-consuming, but it could also lead to leak issues that throw off your measurements.In this video we're going to look at the best practices for doing a pressure calibration and what accessories, like fittings...

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,...

Most of us work in tech support departments and one of the most frequently asked questions we receive is: how to set up a energy logger or power analyzer.We’re always happy to help so we’ve created a video that shows how you can easily setup an Energy Logger from the Fluke 173x series.Fluke 1736 Three-Phase Power LoggerThe power logger used in this video was the Fluke 1736 Three-Phase Power Logger.Fluke 1736 Three-Phase Power LoggerKey measurements: Automatically log voltage, current, power,...

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...

Flickering lights can have an adverse effect on health, causing fatigue, lack of concentration, migraines and in some cases, epileptic shock. The severity of reaction and sensitivity varies from person to person. Some people can see a higher rate of flickering light than others. Fluorescent lamps can occasionally develop a fault that can cause them to have noticeable flicker.While health effects are a main concern, the production line of an industrial plant can also be affected. Workers can feel...
