All engineers know resistance is usually bad news. It generates heat. It reduces efficiency. It wears out components and cuts operational lifetimes. However, resistance is not the only kind of ...

Insulation resistance testers, often called megohmmeters, are fundamental tools for preventive maintenance, used to assess ...

Transformers are very reliable devices and can provide service for a long time if regularly maintained and serviced. They’re also the single most costly item in any substation. To protect against ...

Most precision digital multimeters (DMMs) and many source measurement units (SMUs) offer both two-wire and four-wire resistance measurement capabilities. However, these two techniques are not equally ...

We’ll begin by covering some of the basic mathematical relationships that everyone learns in electrical trade (or engineering) school. Unfortunately, many people seem to forget these basics in the ...

Insulation resistance testing is one of the most useful predictive maintenance tests available. This test gives insight into the integrity of insulation. The higher the resistance across the ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. An important consideration for many composite structures, damage assessment targets two primary components: damage resistance and damage tolerance. Damage ...
