Good insulation resistance in a metal sheathed platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) probe is important for obtaining accurate and stable temperature measurements. If a probe is cycled frequently between hot and cold temperatures, its components become fatigued over time, and moisture can leak through the sheath seal at the probe handle. This is a common cause of decreased insulation resistance and noisy measurements.Cold temperatures allow moisture to leak through the sheath seal into the probe’s...

What is IEC 61000-4-30 standard?The IEC 61000-4-30 standard ensures that the measurement results from Power Quality analyzers and loggers of different makes and models match up; so measurement results are comparable without any doubts. This is extremely important, especially when there is a dispute about supply voltage quality between different parties going on. To comply with this standard, the instruments should measure and evaluate in exactly the same way. The standard covers PQ phenomena like...

Power Quality loggers are often placed in the field for long periods, so most don’t have a display. Besides attracting attention and so increasing the chance of theft, a display is simply not needed as you don’t normally use a logger for troubleshooting. Successful analysis is therefore all about gathering data.Somehow, you need to communicate with the logger. You need to tell it what and how to measure, and then download the data. With no display, a logger’s communication links are critical,...
