Picking the Right Hipot Tester For The Job – as published in Power Systems Design Magazine – 9/2018
Picking the Right Hipot Tester for the Job Understanding the testing requirements and standards will ultimately save testing time and cost. By Kevin Clark, CEO, Vitrek Hipot testers offer a range of capabilities starting with dielectric withstand and insulation resistance testing but also, in many instances, providing accurate low-resistance measurements and low-resistance/high-current outputs to test ground resistance and ground bond integrity. Selecting the right one for your application will ultimately save both time and expense in performing these essential tests. Product Safety Certification Before getting into the individual functions, it is important to point out that hipot testing is [...]

Measurements Using Capacitive Sensors
Precise Measurements Using Capacitive Sensors Capacitive sensors can be divided into two categories based upon their performance and intended use. High resolution sensors are typically used in displacement and position monitoring applications where high accuracy, stability and low temperature drift are required. Quite frequently these sensors are used in process monitoring and closed-loop feedback control systems. Proximity type capacitive sensors are much less expensive and are typically used to detect the presence of a part or used in counting applications. Applications Position Sensing General positioning is probably the most [...]
TSC-4800A: Tachometer Signal Conditioner System
TSC-4800A: Tachometer Signal Conditioner System Programmable tachometer conditioner for engine monitoring and testing systems The state of the art speed resolver/signal conditioning unit capable of working with all types of engine speed signals. Whether you are testing engines with a long tooth or short tooth embedded N1 signal, if you have engines with older high-voltage tachometer generators, or if you are testing engines with the new offset tooth design, the TSC-4800A will condition all of these types of signals.

Engine Vibration and Balancing Principles
What do you think when you’re flying home, cruising at 30,000 feet and the drinks have just been served? Our engineers think about the ripple in the glass. That ripple signals vibration and is an indication that the engine may be in need of a balance. The MTII’s PBS-4100+ Series Turbine Vibration Analyzer/Balancing System was developed to ensure that Turbine engines run as efficiently as possible. Excessive vibration is detrimental for a host of reasons: energy intended for useful output is instead expended on the vibration vibration manifests as acoustic energy (noise), again wasting otherwise useful energy excessive [...]
Common Test and Calibration Uses of the 1510A Portable Signal Generator
Introduction As one of the most versatile and powerful hand-held signal generators on the market, the 1510A is a two-channel, battery-powered, microprocessor-controlled direct digital signal generator. It has an average battery life of 3 hours of continuous use. Weighing in at under two pounds, makes it ideal for use in the field. There are many different ways this sophisticated device can be leveraged to perform precise test and calibration of equipment, wires, cables, sensors and much more. Use Case #1 | Sensor Simulation You can simulate sensors during system development, bring-up, and test. Often during [...]

Capacitance Guide for Industrial Applications
Accumeasure Digital Capacitance System D Series Gen 3 View Product Capacitance Displacement and Gap Measurement Probes View Product Accumeasure Analog Capacitance System View Product Basic Principles of Capacitance Capacitance is defined as the ratio of the change in an electric charge to the corresponding change in its electrical potential (or voltage). Capacitors ; components designed to store electrical charge, consist of conductive parallel plates that are electrically separated by a dielectric material, such as air or an insulating layer. MTI’s technology is built on the principles of parallel plate capacitor measurement. A probe [...]
