SureTest® Circuit Analyzer 61 164

Показать описание

Ron introduces you to the SureTest® Circuit Analyzer from IDEAL. You can use it to test a circuit for proper wiring and performance under a load. The tester is really a great trouble shooting tool for problem circuits.
In this video I will show you how to quickly measure the line voltage, ground to neutral voltage, peak voltage and frequency of a circuit using Ideals SureTest Circuit Analyzer.
If you’d like to know more about Ideals Sure test Circuit Analyzer it is our catalog number 61-164.
Contact our customer service department or look at our website to find a distributor nearby you that stocks the circuit analyzer testers.
Simply plug the Circuit Analyzer into an outlet using the 1 foot extension cord provided with the tester or use the 1 foot extension cord with alligator clips that can be ordered separately onto a live circuit.
The tester indicates the polarity condition of the individual conductors when first plugged in.
To look at the line voltage of the circuit press the down arrow button once. The tester indicates the TRMS voltage of the circuit being tested.
TRMS testers are very accurate when measuring voltage or current waveforms and are recommended by the industry.
The line voltage measurement should be 120 VAC +/- 10% according to the NEC.
Voltage fluctuations can range between 108VAC and 132VAC and depending on the type of equipment the device should still work properly.
That fluctuation in voltage can be problematic depending on the type of equipment.
A lighting circuit probably won’t care but you data network might.
Pressing the right arrow button the tester will look at the ground to neutral voltage which should be less than 2 VAC.
In a single phase circuit, a higher ground to neutral voltage indicates excessive current leakage between the neutral and ground conductors.
This can be caused by connections between the neutral and ground conductors in a circuit in locations other than in the electrical distribution panel where the ground and neutral are bonded together.
Excessive ground to neutral voltage may result in inconsistent or intermittent equipment performance. And is one more thing to look at when trouble shooting equipment problems.
Pressing the right arrow button again and the tester will indicate the peak voltage of the waveform.
The peak voltage should be 1.141 times the RMS line voltage for a clean sine waveform.
It is generally about 170VAC for a 120 VAC circuit. Most people do not realize there is a peak voltage for that waveform.
Press the right arrow button one more time and the tester indicates the frequency of the circuit being tested. In North America that should be a frequency of 60Hz.
