如何利用数字万用表测量占空比

By Brian HarrisonAccording to a Fluke 2019 survey, roughly 50 percent of maintenance and reliability professionals were actively planning Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) initiatives.This survey preceded the challenges brought about by COVID-19. At the time, more than half of the teams interviewed found the IIoT process to be more complicated than anticipated because of an essential prerequisite—collaboration with other teams and departments. Despite the business disruption caused by the pandemic,...

Continuity is the presence of a complete path for current flow. A closed switch that is operational, for example, has continuity. A continuity test is a quick check to see if a circuit is open or closed. Only a closed, complete circuit (one that is switched ON) has continuity. During a continuity test, a digital multimeter sends a small current through the circuit to measure resistance in the circuit. Ready to learn how to safely test continuity with a digital multimeter? Read the Fluke step-by-step...

A multimeter determines capacitance by charging a capacitor with a known current, measuring the resulting voltage, then calculating the capacitance.A good capacitor stores an electrical charge and may remain energized after power is removed. Before touching it or taking a measurement, a) turn all power OFF, b) use your multimeter to confirm that power is OFF and c) carefully discharge the capacitor by connecting a resistor across the leads. Be sure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment.Looking...

Resistance is measured using analog or digital multimeters. These tools also measure current, voltage, and more for various applications. Why measure resistance? To determine the condition of a circuit or component. The higher the resistance, the lower the current flow, and vice versa.In general, the resistance of components used to control circuits (such as switches and relay contacts) starts out very low and increases over time due to factors such as wear and dirt. Loads such as motors and solenoids...

Circuits and equipment may be designed to operate at a fixed or variable frequency. They may perform abnormally if operated at a different frequency than specified.For example, an AC motor designed to operate at 60 Hz operates slower if the frequency is less than 60 Hz, or faster if frequency exceeds 60 Hz. For AC motors, any change in frequency causes a proportional change in motor speed. A five percent reduction in frequency yields a five percent reduction in motor speed.Looking for your first...

Measuring DC voltage accurately is essential for diagnosing electrical systems, troubleshooting circuits, and ensuring proper functionality of components such as batteries, power supplies, and motors. A digital multimeter (DMM) is a versatile tool that simplifies DC voltage measurements, providing precise readings with minimal effort. Understanding the correct procedures, such as selecting the appropriate settings, connecting the test probes properly, and interpreting the display, ensures accurate...
