Being a service technician for an underground utility system is challenging. But if you love your work, having the appropriate devices and equipment in your arsenal should be your priority. The human eye cannot see anything below the earth’s surface. That is not a problem if you have the right tools. Underground has a system … Read more
Any electronics circuit designer understands the importance of using the appropriate component in the design. That process begins by measuring the ESR values of different electrical components already in the design. That is where an ESR meter comes in. An Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) meter is a measuring instrument used for the actual capacitance measurements … Read more
LRC meters are multi-functional measuring instruments for electrical engineers and technicians. As the name suggests, these instruments can measure inductance (L), capacitance (c), and resistance (R). Clearly, their names originate from what these devices can do. The ability of the LCR meter to measure multiple parameters makes them the best choice. Instead of buying different … Read more
Many utility infrastructures are buried deep underground. They include telephone lines, electrical, fiber optic, and data cables. These are usually challenging to engineers and maintenance technicians since locating faults is not straightforward. You cannot dig the entire cable length to identify the fault position. That is where the underground cable fault locators come in. Unlike … Read more
Oscilloscopes are essential measuring instruments that any electronic system designer or electrician cannot afford to lack. It doesn’t matter if you are a professional or a technician. You need this instrument to help you know if you have the appropriate signal in your design. Electrical signals such as voltage and currents in any system are … Read more
Wall, floor, and even ceilings in your house is becoming congested with networking, telephone, and electrical cables. That poses a challenge to engineers and technicians who want to add other hidden wires or even repair them. The danger of damaging the existing one and causing mess is at its all-time high. Fortunately, there are instruments … Read more
When working with electricity, safety comes first. And for measuring current, a perfect device would be the one that gives you accurate readings without any contact with the conductor. When measuring current with a multimeter, you need to connect the multimeter in series and break the circuit. On the other hand, a clamp meter allows … Read more
Maybe, you are searching for an electrical measuring device that can measure the current. You know they are either multimeter or clamp meter. But, you are not sure which one to choose from. Because getting a little confused about how one differs from another, you start to dig more information about how they contrast to … Read more
Many of the experiments performed in advanced laboratories make use of an oscilloscope and a function generator. That said, understanding what they are and how they function is crucial, as is presented in the difference between the two. This article mostly provides an overview of the two and how they differ in terms of operation, … Read more
LCR meter and multimeter are one of the most if not the most important measuring instruments for an electrical engineer. A Multimeter is often the first choice for a hobbyist or a student getting into the industry. Further, with an advanced understanding of the fundamental concepts, instruments such as an LCR meter might come in … Read more
