Fluke Test Tool Information Safety and You Why is safety important? Why should you care? Between five and ten times on any given day, arc flash explosions, sufficient to send a victim to a special burn center, take place in the U.S. These incidents and other less serious electrical accidents result in injury —sometimes death—lost work time, medical costs and insurance claims, downtime, the list goes on. The cost to both the victim, the victim’s family and the company involved, are high. Yet many of these accidents can be prevented. The combination of training, good measurement technique, and the use of proper tools can significantly reduce the chance of an accident occurring. What are the Standards? To provide improved protection for users, industry standards organizations have Go to www.fluke.com/safety to view The taken steps to clarify the hazards present Fluke Electrical Measurement Safety Program in electrical supply environments. The and order your free copy of the Fluke Safety American National Standards Institute video. This video makes the standards easy to understand and can be used as part of (ANSI), the Canadian Standards Association your own internal safety program. (CSA), and the International ElectroTechnical Commission (IEC), have created more stringent standards for voltage test equipment used in environments of up to 1000 volts. ANSI, CSA and IEC define four measurement categories of over-voltage transient impulses. The rule of thumb is that the closer the technician is working to the power source, the greater the danger and the higher the measurement category number. Lower category installations usually have greater impedance, which dampens transients and helps limit the fault current that can feed an arc. • CAT (Category) IV is associated with the origin of installation. This refers to power lines at the utility connection, but also includes any overhead and underground outside cable runs, since both may be affected by lightning. • CAT III covers distribution level wiring. This includes 480-volt and 600-volt circuits such as 3-phase bus and feeder circuits, motor control centers, load centers and distribution panels. Permanently installed loads are also classed as CAT III. CAT III includes large loads that can generate their own transients. At this level, the trend to using higher voltage levels in modern buildings has changed the picture and increased the potential hazards. • • CAT II covers the receptacle circuit level and plug-in loads. CAT I refers to protected electronic circuits. Some installed equipment may include multiple categories. A motor drive panel, for example, may be CAT III on the 480-volt power side, and CAT I on the control side. Independent testing labs help ensure safety compliance You want your tools and equipment to help you work safely. But how do you know that a tool designed to meet a safety standard will actually deliver the performance you are paying for? Unfortunately it’s not enough to just look on the box. The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) develops and proposes standards, but it is not responsible for enforcing the standards. Wording like “Designed to meet specification...” may not mean a test tool actually performs up to spec. Designer’s plans are never a substitute for an actual independent test. For more information, go to www.fluke.com/safety Safety Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Canadian Standards Association (CSA) TUV and VDE (German standards organizations) are approval/listing agencies United States Department of Labor Mine Safety and Health Administration That’s why independent testing is so important. To be confident, check the product for the symbol and listing number of Underwriters Laboratories (UL), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), TÜV or another recognized testing organization. Those symbols can only be used if the product successfully completed testing to the agency’s standard, which is based on national/ international standards. That is the closest you can come to ensuring that the test tool you choose was actually tested for safety. What does the CE symbol indicate? A product is marked CE (Conformité Européenne) to show it conforms to health, safety, environment and consumer protection requirements established by the European Commission. Products from outside the European Union cannot be sold there unless they comply with applicable directives. But manufacturers are permitted to self-certify that they have met the standards, issue their own Declaration of Conformity, and mark the product “CE.” The CE mark is not, therefore, a guarantee of independent testing. Why are Fluke products different? Don’t be confused by “Listed” vs. “Designed to” in your test tools. IEC sets the standards but does not test or inspect for compliance. So a manufacturer can claim to “design to” a standard with no independent verification. To be UL-Listed, CSA or TUV-Certified, a manufacturer must employ the listing agency to TEST the product’s compliance with the standard. Look for the listing agency’s emblem on the meter.

Customers outside the U.S. email service.international@fluke.com or visit www.fluke.com/service to find your nearest location. If your tool isn’t working correctly, or if you dropped it, ran over it, or dunked it in the pool, call Fluke. If it’s not under warranty, we’ll give you a cost estimate over the phone. Once you send it in, we’ll verify the problem, fix it, test it and put it back in the mail often in less than five working days. Fluke recommends having your DMMs, Calibrators and ScopeMeter test tools calibrated once a year—especially if you use them often or need accurate measurements to meet regulations requirements. Calibration compares your tool’s measurements to the accuracy standard—sort of like setting your watch to match an atomic clock. Some test tools live a pretty rough life. If you calibrate them, you know they’re accurate—even after what you put them through. Shocking treatment Because of our commitment to safety, all Fluke equipment is designed to provide as much protection as possible from the inherent dangers of working in the unsettled sea of electricity. Fluke products are dropped, shocked, short circuited, injected with thousands of volts of electricity and forced to endure extreme temperature, just to get out the door.

If you’re measuring non-linear Why true-rms? loads like variable frequency drives, solid state heater drives, or electronics, you need a true-rms tool to get accurate readings. Average responding meters will read low, up to 30 or 40 percent low in some cases. This application note explains what true-rms is and when you need it in your test tool. Fluke 117 The Fluke 117 is the ideal meter for demanding settings like commercial buildings, hospitals and schools. The 117 includes integrated non-contact voltage detection to help get the job done faster. Non-linear loads need a true-rms current clamp for accurate readings Application Note can usually be separated into one of three categories: 1. Too much current. 2. Too much heat in the electrical enclosure. 3. Faulty circuit breaker (or fuse). Your first instinct will probably be to measure the current with a current clamp while the load is on. If the current is within the circuit rating, you may be tempted to replace the circuit breaker. The 117 features include: • VoltAlert™ Technology for integrated non-contact voltage detection • AutoVolt feature for automatic ac/dc voltage selection • LoZ: low input impedance prevents false readings due to “ghost voltage” • Large display and white LED backlight to work in poorly lit areas more effectively • Compact design for one-handed operation • Min/Max/Average to record signal fluctuations • Compatible with optional magnetic hanger (ToolPak™) for hands free operation • Current measurement 20 A (30 seconds momentary; 10 A continuous) • Resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance Figure 1. One current—two readings. Which do you trust? The branch circuit above feeds a non-linear load with distorted current. The true-rms clamp reads correctly but the average responding clamp reads low by 32 percent. Troubleshooting the electrical service feeding adjustable speed motor loads can be difficult if you don’t have the right tools. New solid state motor drives and heating controls often conduct non-sinusoidal (distorted) current. In other words, the current occurs in short pulses rather than the smooth sine wave drawn by a standard induction motor. The current wave shape can have a drastic effect on a current clamp reading. Basically, there are two types of current clamps commonly available: “average responding” and “true-rms.” The average responding units are widely used and are usually Figure 2. A computer load. Non-linear loads that cause measurement errors. Introduction lower cost. They give correct readings for linear loads such as standard induction motors, resistance heaters, and incandescent lights. But when loads are non-linear, containing semiconductors, the average responding meters typically read low. Worst case nonlinear loads include small adjustable speed drives (5 hp or less) connected line to line across two phases of a 480 V, three-phase system, solid state heater controls connected single phase to 240 V, or computers connected to 120 V. When troubleshooting a branch circuit that suffers from circuit breaker tripping (or fuse blowing), the cause of the trouble Figure 3. An adjustable speed motor load.

The instructions cover the thermostat controls, fan controls, flame verification controls, and cad cell testing. The Fluke 116 was specifically designed for the HVAC professional. It has everything needed in an HVAC meter including temperature and microamp measurements to quickly troubleshoot problems with HVAC equipment and flame sensors. principles and troubleshooting techniques Application Note This application note was written to provide you with an understanding of the basic principles of fossil fuel heating systems and how to troubleshoot these systems using thermometers, digital multimeters (DMMs), clamp meters, pressure/ vacuum modules and other accessories. Heat pumps and forced air electric heat furnaces are discussed in other application notes available from Fluke. Heating systems principles The 116 features include: • Built in thermometer for HVAC applications • Microamps to test flame sensors • Min/Max/Average to record signal fluctuations • Large white LED backlight to work in poorly lit areas • Compact ergonomic design for one-handed operation • Min/Max/Average to record signal fluctuations • Compatible with optional magnetic hanger (ToolPak™) • Resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance Forced-air heat is generated at a central furnace and is then distributed and delivered to the conditioned space via a duct system. A properly designed heating system will generate quiet, filtered, and comfortable air into the conditioned zone. Modern systems have been recently designed that will also filter the air electronically, modulate airflow as zone temperatures change, and bring in fresh outside air based on occupied time. There are three types of fossil fuel heating systems predominantly available on the market today. These include natural gas, liquefied petroleum (LP) and fuel oil forced-air furnaces. Fossil fuel forced-air heating Forced-air fossil fuel furnaces are factory manufactured, packaged heating units that include: • A combustion chamber designed for gas or oil DMM with microamps capability testing the flame rectification circuit. • • • • A heat exchanger A flue gas exhaust chamber A forced air circulating fan and, A controller section. Newer units often include a secondary heat exchanger to increase efficiency and an auxiliary fan for combustion gases. Since the newer units substantially cool the combustion gases, removing water vapor from the combustion gases, they often are called condensing high-efficiency furnaces. Additionally, they will have plastic flue gas piping instead of older more traditional metal flue pipe since the gas temperatures are much lower than less efficient older units. Older standard gas furnaces were 65 % to 78 % efficient, while newer high efficiency furnaces are 78 % to 85 % efficient when used with induced draft fans. Modern condensing furnaces, however, are 90-95 % efficient. Modern fossil fuel furnaces also come equipped with electronic controls for ignition, fan speed control, electronic thermostats, and safety controls. The typical operating pressure of the natural gas furnaces at the burner is 3.5 inches of water column. Natural gas is predominantly used as the preferred fuel in larger cities and communities where main gas lines are available. Fuel oil and Liquid Petroleum (LP) heating furnaces are more popular in rural communities.

It describes some of the test procedures commonly used by experienced technicians. However, some of the procedures require you to take certain precautions to avoid personal injury and/or damage to equipment or vehicles. Fluke cannot anticipate all possible precautions that you must take on all the different vehicles for which this guide is applicable. For this reason, you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with proper safety habits and take all precautions described in the vehicle’s repair manuals to avoid injury or damage. Testing automotive systems with an analog/digital multimeter Perhaps the most important tool you’ll use in troubleshooting auto electrical systems is the multimeter. The basic multimeter measures voltage, current and resistance, while more elaborate multimeters, such as the new Fluke 88-V, have features that can check things such as frequency, duty cycle, pulse width, make diode tests, and even measure temperature. In this application note you will find troubleshooting techniques using the high quality, affordable and popular line of Fluke analog/digital multimeters and automotive troubleshooting accessories. Fluke’s analog/ digital combination has distinct advantages over either digital or analog meters alone, and the accessories are designed to make your job easier and more profitable. Although automotive multimeters with various capabilities have been around for years, many of them didn’t have the scales and functions required for todays’ automotive applications. Hybrid, electric and fuel cell powered vehicles have special requirements, ones met with the new 88-V. Now that computers and their sensors are a part of everyday automobile troubleshooting, you need a true multimeter to do the job. The common analog type multimeter is not only inadequate, it can damage delicate computer circuitry. Both analog meters and test lights, due to their low internal resistance (input impedance), draw too much power from the device they’re testing to be used on computers. What’s more, many analog meters use 9V to power the resistance test, which is enough to destroy sensitive digital components. From the Fluke Digital Library @ www.fluke.com/library Want to read more?
