This essential Fluke application note explains how to use a voltage tester safely and effectively, outlining different tester ...

The circuit was developed to produce a continuity tester with a low resistance mainly for checking the connections between soldered joints. Operational Amplifier (Op-Amp) – a DC coupled high gain ...

Proper safety procedures are critical when testing high-voltage systems. As the following examples prove, mistakes happen. However, when the safety of you and your coworkers is at stake, neglecting ...

So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

The true measurement of a battery’s capacity is essential for many scenarios. A capacity measurement device can solve the problem of spotting fake batteries as well. Nowadays fake Lithium and NiMH ...

If a poll was taken to determine what aspect of the hot rod hobby enthusiasts dislike the most, there’s a high likelihood that “diagnosing electrical issues/gremlins” would be the popular answer. An ...

For testing PCBs, test engineers have a variety of options ranging from venerable in-circuit testers and flying probers to functional testers and the latest in embedded-instrument technology.

In-circuit testers rely on bed-of-nails-type fixtures that give the tester access to every node (or net) of the printed circuit board (PCB). Using this access, the tester takes a divide-and-conquer ...

When a circuit is pushed past its limits, it rarely fails politely. It signals trouble through tripped breakers, hot outlets, ...
