explosions, suffcient 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 deathlost work time, medical costs and insurance claims, downtime, the list goes on. the cost to both the victim, the victims 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 signifcantly reduce the chance of an accident occurring. what are the standards? to provide improved protection for users, industry standards organizations have taken steps to clarify the hazards present in electrical supply environments. the american national standards institute (ansi), the canadian standards association (csa), and the international electro- technical commission (iec), have created more stringent standards for voltage test equipment used in environments of up to 1000 volts. ansi, csa and iec defne 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 its 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 specifcation... may not mean a test tool actually performs up to spec. designers plans are never a substitute for an actual independent test. tuv and vde (german standards organizations) are approval/listing agencies canadian standards association (csa) for more information, go to www.fluke.com/safety thats why independent testing is so important. to be confdent, check the product for the symbol and listing number of underwriters laboratories (ul), the canadian standards associa- tion (csa), tv or another recognized testing organization. those symbols can only be used if the product successfully completed testing to the agencys 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 (conformit europenne) to show it conforms to health, safety, environment and consumer protection requirements established by the european commis- sion. products from outside the euro- pean 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? dont 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 verifcation. to be ul-listed, csa or tuv-certifed, a manufacturer must employ the listing agency to test the products compliance with the standard. look for the listing agencys emblem on the meter. go to www.fuke.com/safety to view the fluke electrical measurement safety program and order your free copy of the fluke safety video. this video makes the standards easy to understand and can be used as part of your own internal safety program. underwriters laboratories (ul) united states department of labor mine safety and health administration 9

accurate measurements to meet regulations requirements. calibration compares your tools measurements to the accuracy standardsort of like setting your watch to match an atomic clock. some test tools live a pretty rough life. if you calibrate them, you know theyre accurateeven after what you put them through. for more information on servicing your fluke tools outside of the u.s., see page 2 for

code 1260729: why true-rms? if youre measuring non-linear 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. want to read more? download this and other application notes at www.fuke.com/library application note introduction troubleshooting the electrical service feeding adjustable speed motor loads can be diffi- cult 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 c ommonly available: ?average responding? and ?true-rms.? the average responding units are widely used and are usually why true-rms? non-linear loads need a true-rms current clamp for accurate readings f r o m t h e f l u k e d i g i t a l l i b

(or fuse). y our 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. 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

for linear loads such as standard induction motors, resistance heaters, and incan- descent lights. but when loads are non-linear, containing semiconductors, the average responding meters typically read low. worst case non- linear 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

heating systems principles 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, fltered, and comfortable air into the conditioned zone. modern systems have been recently designed that will also flter the air electronically, modu - late airfow as zone temperatures change, and bring in fresh outside air based on occupied time. there are three types of fossil fuel heating systems predomi - nantly available on the market today. these include natural gas, liquefed 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 while newer high effciency furnaces are 78 % to 85 % effcient when used with induced draft fans. modern condensing furnaces, however, are 90-95 % effcient. 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)

safety habits and take all precautions describ ed in the vehicle s repair manuals to avoid injury or damage. t esting automotive systems with an analog/digital multimeter p erhaps the most important tool youll use in troubleshooting auto electrical systems is the multime- ter . the basic multimeter measures voltage, current and resistance, while more elaborate multimeters, such as the new fluke 88- v, ha ve features that can check things such as frequenc y, duty c ycle, pulse w idth, make diode tests, and even measure temperature. in this application note you w ill find troubleshooting tech- niques using the high quality, affordable and popular line of fluke analog/dig ital multimeters and automotive troubleshooting ac c essories . 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. beat the book automotive electrical diagnosis. better diagnosis,

many of them didnt 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 trou- bleshooting, you need a true multimeter to do the job. the common analog type mul- timeter is not only inadequate, it can damage delicate c omputer circuitry. both analog meters and test lights, due to their low inter - nal resistanc e (input impedanc e), draw too much power from the dev ic e theyre testing to b e used on c omputers. whats more, many analog meters use 9v to power the resistanc e test, which is enough to destroy sensitive digital components. for more information and detailed specifications, go to
