A digital multimeter (DMM) is the first tool most of us reach for when troubleshooting an electrical issue. It provides a variety of measurement features that can help isolate a problem or narrow down the list of potential issues. Troubleshoot Transient Voltages in VFDs Using a Digital MultimeterWhen troubleshooting a variable frequency drive (VFD), a multimeter is an excellent tool to start with. Variable frequency drives are motor controllers that vary the frequency and voltage of power supplied...

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...

Large three-phase motors and the equipment they drive should consume power equally from each of the three mains phases. However, that often doesn’t happen. Unbalance and harmonics can cause instability, with motor vibration that reduces both efficiency and lifetime. Unbalance can also cause malfunctions in single-phase loads. All this can reduce your power quality, leading to punitive penalty charges from your utility.In this blog, we will describe balanced three-phase power systems – where each...

When you have insight into the overall health of your asset portfolio, you can determine how best to allocate your resources. In the past, gaining that insight was a process in and of itself. Now, the Fluke Connect™ Condition Monitoring (FCCM) Dashboard gives you a concise view on a single screen.Leveraging FCCM data, the dashboard provides a snapshot of facility trends, recent alarms and activities, and the status of individual vibration sensors and power monitoring sensors. You can gauge the...

Automotive customers have zero tolerance for bad parts and therefore, electric motor maintenance needs utmost care. One of our customers, CNP Myszkow, coats small parts for the automotive industry. After dip spin painting, they heat-treat the parts in a tunnel furnace. This is divided into several areas, each with different temperatures. 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...

Rotating machinery can be some of the riskiest equipment you work with. Keep everyone safe around dangerous machinery with these three tips:Limit time close to rotating machinery.Know what machinery is faulty before a hazardous condition occurs.Increase preventive maintenance routes.1. Limit time close to rotating machineryWhen working near rotating machinery, always be careful of moving shafts and other components and whenever possible work away from potential dangers. Adding wireless tools to your...

Accuracy in your facility is an often overlooked, but incredibly important piece of the process. Take the time to calibrate your process instrumentation to ensure accurate measurements and control of pressure and temperature in your industrial processes.Especially with so many different types of instruments in these environments, it’s extra important that each one is properly calibrated not only to be certain the measurements are accurate but also to ensure safety and keep the system working. Any...

Motor control systems used in critical manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly complex, which makes it more challenging than ever to keep them at peak performance. Equipment failure is expensive, whether due to the cost of replacing parts or lost production.The Fluke 378 FC Non-Contact Voltage True-RMS AC/DC Clamp Meter tests 3-phase voltage and current and detects power quality issues—all with one tool.Because motor failure can cause mechanical and electrical issues, it is important...

Highly successful manufacturing plants rank high in availability, performance, and quality. A plant’s most substantial capital investments are in their facilities and equipment, and most manufacturing systems are built to meet a specific capacity level that meets demand. This is why capacity maintenance is critical to the success, and competitiveness, of manufacturing plants today.The more efficiently a company can produce a product, the more products it can produce at a lower cost which results...

Symptoms of power quality issues include vibration, excessive buzzing or humming and overheating. Technicians should occasionally check the power of transformers that supply nonlinear loads, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) or switching power supplies. Doing so ensures operation within acceptable limits. Transformers are deeply critical to the reliability of the grounding system. During your transformer inspection, use temperature as a guide to check for excessive radiant heat and stay alert...

World Metrology Day 2012 MessageWorld Metrology Day commemorates the signing of the Meter Convention on May 20, 1875. Those who are dedicated to metrology, the science of measurement, recognize this day each year as their time to celebrate the importance of measurements. The theme for World Metrology Day 2012 is “Metrology for Safety.” Fluke Corporation, one of the world’s leading metrology companies, is dedicated to facilitating workers’ safety through test and measurement tools as well...

Vibration measurement is an integral part of maintaining the health and performance of industrial machinery. It involves quantifying the oscillations and movements within the machinery to identify potential faults before they lead to significant issues. This guide dives into vibration measurement, discussing its importance, the methods used for measuring, the standard units of measurement, and the advanced tools utilized for accurate monitoring and analysis. What is Vibration Measurement? Vibration...

Infrared thermography provides the capability to help detect subtle problems before they result in failures. In industrial settings some equipment problems can be spotted through unusual vibration or sounds, but many other problems do not present such obvious symptoms. Many electrical problems can be detected by their thermal patterns, which, if not identified, could either lead to equipment failure or a more serious electrical hazard. Moisture problems in ceilings and walls can be very difficult...
