Fundamentals of Floating Measurements
and Isolated Input Oscilloscopes
|
 This guide will provide you with a fundamental glossary of power measurement terms, explain the different options available for making floating measurements, and highlight the advantages and trade-offs of each option.
The most demanding floating measurement requirements are found in power control circuits, such as motor controllers, uninterruptible power supplies, and industrial equipment. In such application areas, voltages and currents may be large enough to present a hazard to users and/or test equipment. When measuring floating high voltage signals there are many options to consider. Each option has its advantages and

Preventing Damage to Your Electrical Safety Tester Due to Improper Test Station Setup
|
 One of the most frequent causes of damage to Associated Research electrical safety
compliance testers occurs due to improper test station setup. Our technicians have
determined that in many instances test operators mistakenly allow high fault currents to
feedback through the return input of their test instruments, which causes damage to
sensitive components and PCB traces. Oftentimes this type of damage results in out-ofwarranty
repair costs. Fortunately, it is very easy to prevent this type of damage to your
instrument by taking some simple considerations into account prior to testing. This
paper will discuss how the instrument is damaged and how to avoid the conditions that
lead to this damage. Click here to continue reading
