The instrument allows completion of measurements according to multiple voltage levels (step voltage method), making it possible for the user to evaluate insulation quality and to plan preventive maintenance accordingly (especially for motors). SPECIFIC FEATURES: • If a linear response were to be adopted for resistance and conductance, a high number of scales would be required on account of the extent of the measuring range which must be cover in practice, from 1 MΩ to 1000 GΩ. The use of logarithmic response circuitry reduces the number of scales to two. Each scale covering three decades. The accuracy is typically on the order of ± 5% over the entire range. • Selection of the test voltages does not cause the measuring range to change. It is very easy to determine the influence of voltage upon insulation. • An additional range is provided to cover from 1 kΩ to 1 MΩ. This range uses a constant current source (1 mA) to perform the measurement. The maximum open voltage is limited to approximately 1100 V. • A voltmeter range covering from 0 to 600 V AC or DC allows the user to verify whether or not the circuit where the insulation must be tested is energized. • Insulation testing and voltmeter functions are accompanied by a continuity test range from 0.1Ω to 100Ω. The logarithmic scale provides excellent accuracy between 0.1Ω to 1Ω. A fuse is used for overload protection in case of incorrect measuring procedures. PRINCIPAL FEATURES: Insulation Testing: • Test voltages - The rotary selector switch allows the choice of five voltages: 50 V, 100 V, 250 V, 500 V, 1000 V. • Ranges for each test voltage MΩ: 1 MΩ to 1000 MΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) GΩ: 1 GΩ to 1000 GΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) KΩ: 1 KΩ to 1000 KΩ (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading) NOTE: From 100 GΩ to 1000 GΩ, the typical accuracy is ± 10% and max. is ± 20% of reading on the 50 V range. 4 REV. 7: March 13, 2004 FILE LOCATION: Manuals - Cal. Man - 1000MAN.DOC 4/21/2005 MODEL 1000N REPAIR AND CALIBRATION MANUAL CAT. #185.100 Continuity Testing: 0.1Ω to 100Ω (typical accuracy: ± 5% of reading, max: ± 10% of reading or 5 mΩ) The logarithmic scale is the same for the Ω and KΩ range. The 0.1Ω is calibrated at the output terminal of the instrument. You need to subtract the resistance value of the leads from your measurement if you need the accuracy under 10Ωs. DC or AC Voltage Measurements: In order to ensure that the system under test is not energized, the instrument functions as a voltmeter as soon as it is connected, provided the push-to-measure button has not yet been pressed. This is the case for every range selected. Scale: 0 to 600V AC or DC: accuracy: 3% of full scale Time Constant: K M G Charging time (R reading) x (C reading) 0.04 Sec / µF 4 Sec / µF Discharging time 0.1 Sec / µF or 0.3 Sec / µF to decrease below 50 V Safety Features: • This instrument is capable of withstanding overloads of up to 600 V for any selected function. • The continuity range is protected by a fuse inserted in the "G" (Guard) terminal and is accessible when the battery compartment is removed. Influence: • Temperature: Twice the accuracy per 10° C variation Supply voltage: Half the accuracy for battery voltages between 9 and 13 Volts • Humidity: No significant influence up to 40° C and up to 70% relative humidity Dielectric Strength: • 4000V RMS at 50 Hz for 1 minute between all input terminals and any accessible metal portions of the instrument. • Model with AC power supply accessory: Add test at 4000V RMS at 60 Hz for 1 minute between the AC outlet and any accessible metal portions of the instrument. 5 REV. 7: March 13, 2004 FILE LOCATION: Manuals - Cal.

  • The Absolute Measurement of Capacity
    THE ABSOLUTE MEASUREMENT OF CAPACITY. By Edwakd B. Rosa and Frederick "W. Grover. 1. The Method Employed. The usual method of determining the capacity of a condenser in electromagnetic measure is Maxwell's bridge method, using a tuning fork or a rotating commutator to charge and discharge the condenser, Fig. 1. which is placed in the fourth arm of a Wheatstone bridge. This is a null method, is adapted to measuring large and small capacities equally well, and requires an accurate knowledge only of a resistance and the rate of the fork or commutator. 153 154 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF STANDARDS. [vol.1, no. 2. The formula for the capacity C of the condenser as given by J. J Thomson, is as follows: * i_L a (a+h+d){a+c+g) 0= (1) ncd \} +c{a+l+d))\} + d(a+c+g)) in which <z, c, and d are the resistances of three arms of a Wheatstone bridge, b and g are battery and galvanometer resistances, respectively, and n is the number of times the condenser is charged and discharged per second. When the vibrating arm P touches Q the condenser is charged, and when it touches P it is short circuited and discharged. When Pis not touching Q the arm BD of the bridge is interrupted and a current flows from D to C through the galvanometer; when P touches Q the condenser is charged by a current coming partly through c and partly through g from C to D. Thus the current through the galvanometer is alternately in opposite directions, and when these opposing currents balance each other there is no deflection of the gal- vanometer.

  • (Ohmmeter). Aims: • Calibrating of a Sensitive Galvanometer for Measuring a Resistance
    Exp ( ) Calibrating of a sensitive galvanometer for measuring a resistance (Ohmmeter). Aims: • Calibrating of a sensitive galvanometer for measuring a resistance. The theory When a galvanometer is used as an ohmmeter for measuring an ohmic resistance R, the deviation angle θ of the galvanometer’s coil is directly proportional to the flowing current through the coil and inversely proportional to the value of the resistance. The deviation will reach to the maximum end when the resistance equals to zero or the current has the maximum value. For this reason, the scale will be divide by inversely way in comparison with the ammeter and the voltmeter. The original circuit as shown in Fig(1) consists of a dry cell(E) , rheostat and ammeter (A) are connected in series with small resistor s has the range of 1 omega. The two terminals of “s” are connected in parallel to another combination includes a sensitive galvanometer “G” which has internal resistance “r” and a resistors box “R”, this combination is called the measuring circuit. When the value of R equals zero, and by moving the rheostat in the original circuit, it is possible to set the flowing electric current in measuring the circuit as a maximum value od deviation in the galvanometer. By assigning different values of R, the deviation θ is decreasing with increasing the value of R or by another meaning when the flowing current through the galvanometer decreases. Therefore, the current through the galvanometer is inversely proportional to the value of R according the following Figure 1: Ohmmeter Circuit diagram equation; V=I(R+r) R=V/I-r or R=V/θ-r 1 | P a g e This is a straight-line equation between R and (1/θ) as shown in Fig(2).
