The Dual Impedance of Digital Multimeters

There are numerous digital multimeters that offer several features to make electrical measurement easier, safer, and more reliable. However, there are still factors that need to be considered when measuring electricity and voltages. Most digital multimeters such as the Fluke 114, 116, and 117 series are capable of having a dual impedance in order to solve common electrical measurement complications. To have further understanding, we are here to discuss the basic features and uses of dual impedance.

Impedance Basics

 

Nowadays, digital multimeters that are being used for testing industrial, electrical, and electronic systems have high impedance input circuits. Basically, this means that when the DMM is placed across a circuit for a measurement, it will have little impact on circuit performance. This is the desired effect for most voltage measurement applications and is especially important for sensitive electronics or control circuits.

 

However, older troubleshooting tools such as analog multimeters generally have low impedance input circuitry. This limits their performance and is only used for testing power circuits or other circuits where the low impedance will not negatively impact or alter circuit performance.

What About It?

 

As a means of safety and accurate results, dual impedance meters provide technicians the ability to safely troubleshoot sensitive electronic or control circuits as well as circuits that may contain ghost voltages, and can more reliably determine whether a voltage is present on a circuit.

 

On the Fluke 114, 116 and 117 DMMs, the meter’s regular Vac and Vdc switch positions are high impedance. These switch positions are mostly used for troubleshooting scenarios and sensitive electronic loads.

 

The Fluke low impedance function (Auto-V/LoZ) Auto-V reduces the possibility of false readings due to ghost voltages and improves accuracy when testing to determine the absence or presence of voltage. Use the Auto-V/LoZ switch position on the DMM when readings are suspect (ghost voltages may be present) or when testing for the presence of voltage.

Ghost Voltages

 

In order to understand more what dual impedance, do to electrical measurement processes, Ghost voltages must be carefully identified and explained. These voltages occur from having energized circuits and non-energized wiring located in close proximity to each other, such as in the same conduit or raceway. This condition forms a capacitor and allows capacitive coupling between the energized wiring and the adjacent unused wiring.

 

The most common places to encounter ghost voltages are blown fuses in distribution panels, unused cable runs or electrical wiring in existing conduit. Some amount of ghost voltage can be coupled from the hot side to the open side across the blown fuse. When facilities or buildings are built and wired, it’s very common for electricians to pull extra wire through the conduit for future use.

Absence or presence of voltage testing

 

Traditionally most electricians and plant maintenance professionals used some form of solenoid tester to determine whether circuits were energized or not. Because of their low impedance circuit, solenoid testers are not fooled by ghost voltage.

 

These testers did their job back in the day but they rarely comply with the current IEC 61010 safety standards and current North American regulatory requirements. But with a dual impedance meter that has Auto-V/LoZ function, leads are placed on an open circuit that contains a ghost voltage. The low input impedance will cause the ghost voltage to dissipate and the meter will display a reading near zero volts indicating no voltage present.

 

Given the variety and complexity of measurement and testing requirements found in most facilities today, a meter with a dual impedance input offers the troubleshooter or technician more flexibility to cover applications or measurement needs ranging from basic voltage testing to troubleshooting sensitive electronic circuits. Having a trusted voltage detector helps increase efficiency and adds an additional safety check for technicians, Presidium is your top choice to bring you that efficient voltage detector. As the authorized distributor of Fluke products in the country, we are committed to providing the best measurement tools, especially those that are equipped with high-quality dual impedance input.

How Fluke ii900 Saved a Manufacturer’s Business

One of the world’s most prominent aftermarket manufacturer was interviewed regarding air leaks. This company design, craft, and markets its products under famous brands. They widely use compressed air to run equipment in their plant.

Controlling Energy Waste

 

Air leaks lead to wasted energy by causing the equipment that is run by compressed air to work harder. Older equipment that is stored in the plant increases the probability of air leaks. Leak detection activities are done after hours as hearing air leaks is difficult especially in a noisy environment.

 

They wait for the building to fall quiet, usually on during off-shift and maintenance shutdown to listen to air leaks. They also spray soapy water to areas they think have a leak and observe if there will be bubbles.

 

They also use other methods such as using ultrasonic leak detector. It requires a certain time and a highly trained professional. Small leaks aren’t very audible to the human ear and are sometimes located in a difficult to access area.

 

Fluke approached the said manufacturer to encourage them to try  Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager. This equipment can locate a leak even from 50 feet away in a noisy environment.

 

The maintenance lead and maintenance technician alternating throughout 8 hours of scanning the entire plant of leaks. At the end of their procedure, they found an overall of 143 leaks both big and small.

 

They verified the leaks the equipment has prompted by spraying the said areas with soapy waters. And true enough, the tool was right.

Fluke ii900’s ability to find leaks in hard to search places pleased the maintenance manager.

 

The Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager has a built-in acoustic array of tiny sensitive microphones that generates a spectrum of decibel levels per frequency. An algorithm then calculates a sound image known as SoundMap that is superimposed on a visual image. The SoundMap can filter out background noise because it automatically adapts depending on the frequency selected. It is updated on screen 10-20 times per second.

 

The maintenance manager commended that Fluke is very user-friendly that you can just pick it up and walk down the aisles scanning for leaks. Not only does it save time but it also saves labor and energy cost.

Detect Air Leaks Faster with Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager

Companies involved in heavy equipment manufacturing relies heavily on compressed air to run tools and processes. With this, production lines and its operators are proactively preventing and on the lookout for any signs of leaks, as even a tiny air leak can result in product and energy waste, and lost production time.

In line with this, a leading heavy equipment company recently found a way to prevent air leaks.

 

The company, which uses around 1800 to 2600 CFM of compressed air each day, runs up to 200 torque tools per line and process equipment to move large sheets of half-inch steel and positioning of parts.

 

Relying on compressed air to power up their operations, any sign of leakage can potentially result in higher demand for air pressure and raises the risk of having an inadequate amount of compressed air to supply its tools and process equipment.

 

To address this, Fluke offered the company a chance to test its Fluke ii900 Sonic Industrial Imager.

 

Equipped with an array of tiny and super sensitive microphones that detect sounds from human hearing to the ultrasonic range, the Fluke ii90 allows its users to visualize sound.

 

“Being able to visualize where the problem adds another dimension,” says the company’s maintenance manager. “You can identify which thread, fitting, or hose is affected. Being able to pinpoint where the leak is coming from on that image is extremely exciting.”

 

This enables its users to visually scan large areas from up to 50 meters (164 feet) away, effectively making it easier and faster to detect leaks at the plant and paving the way for the company to reduce hours of labor spent to resolve such task.

 

With the use of Fluke ii900, the company can now easily detect and repair 30 or 40 leaks in just a couple of hours. An additional benefit of using ii900 is that they can also use it during production hours and still be able to capture leaks at the rafter level-up to 20 to 30 feet away, despite their extremely loud working surrounding.

 

“Before we never thought of testing for air leaks during production because we couldn’t shut down the aisles and move people out of the area to go and look at a potential leak,” says the manager.

 

With Fluke ii900, the company and its team can now conveniently stand on the sideline and detect any signs of air leaks, without affecting their work.

Difference of Preventive, Predictive, and Proactive Maintenance

Every maintenance team aspires to keep their machines and equipment running at maximum efficiency and with minimum unplanned downtime. However, achieving this requires the best type of maintenance that your operations can always provide consistently.

In today’s modern maintenance processes, there are various techniques and equipment that has become more automated and convenient.

In line with this, here’s a quick comparison of the three (3) most commonly used maintenance practices in machines and equipment today:

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is done through regularly scheduled upkeep for machines and equipment to help reduce failure and maximize its effectivity. It is important to understand that preventive maintenance intervals are typically based on recommendations from equipment manufacturers rather than on specific data related to each machine. Of all the three processes, preventive maintenance is proven to be more cost effective as it saves energy by keeping equipment running efficiently.

Predictive Maintenance

Predictive maintenance, on the other hand, is designed to address potential equipment problems before they cause a breakdown. Rather than performing maintenance tasks based on time intervals, this process uses data gathered from the equipment to determine when and what to perform maintenance on. It applies algorithms to that data to find trends in key indicators, such as temperature, vibration, electrical, pressure, and other measurable factors that can indicate when a failure is likely to happen.

Much of the data used in these calculations are collected in real time with infrared technology while the equipment is running. This helps create a more accurate and comprehensive picture of both individual assets and the health of the operation.

Proactive Maintenance

By collecting baseline data, tracking trends, and analyzing findings after fault indications are found, a proactive maintenance strategy helps organizations perform maintenance only when necessary, based on gathered information. It can also help make predictive and preventive maintenance programs work more efficiently to avoid the root causes of machine failure, address problems before they arise, and extend machine life.

However, the biggest challenge in establishing a proactive maintenance program is determining when to directly apply your maintenance resources. Analyzing the data from both healthy and faulty equipment can help you determine when a piece of equipment may fail. But, because most organizations have limited maintenance resources, the next challenge is to decide which failures pose the biggest risk to your operation.

Successful maintenance would need high-quality testing equipment that can help your personnel determine their course of action. Moreover, Predictive and Proactive maintenance, which rely on real-time data requires excellent testing equipment to conduct these maintenances successfully.

With Fluke, you can expect to have the best and industry-trusted equipment to provide accurate results on your maintenance operations.

A Step-by-step Approach to System Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting is a process in which devices or systems are repaired. Step-by-step procedures are followed in order to quickly identify and repair issues. There are various test instruments help you through the repair process. Here’s a simple step-by-step run through of what you need to be doing:

 

  1. Start by collecting technical records from relevant sources.

 

Knowing what kind of situation you are dealing with is vital in every repair situation. Analyze the scenario by gathering information from the original equipment manufacturer, suppliers, contractors, operators, and maintenance departments.

  1. Isolate the part of the system or equipment to be tested

 

Gather your test instruments and personal protective equipment before you start the testing process.

 

  1. Take note of all readings

 

Take readings on this portion to test for malfunctions. You might need to test for multiple readings to identify proper operation and the problem at hand.

 

  1. Identify problem and Recommend Repair Actions

 

After doing rigorous tests, you should be able to identify the cause of the problem. Give out suggestions for repairs such as parts replacement, system updating, technical service, or redemption of warranty.

 

  1. Documentation

 

Once all repairs are completed, make sure that you document all changes and repairs that were made. This is so you have something to refer to the next time something happens with the device or system. In this step, you may also include suggestions to improve its performance.

 

However, even though the repair process can be compressed into 5 simple steps, the extensiveness of a repair work can range as broad as a building repair or as specific as an individual component. To avoid unexpected repairs, basic tests on devices and systems should be done regularly so you are able to forecast device or system performances. The most common basic mandatory tests are Voltage and Current test, they are also, typically, the first tests conducted at easily accessible points of measurement or access.

 

If you are looking for Voltage and Current test Equipment, you might want to check out the Fluke 773 Milliamp Process Clamp Meter, it is known to have a 0.2% accuracy and delivers a 0.01 mA resolution and sensitivity.
