    Loop method using Fluke 1653

    Hi all! I tried to measure earth resistance by loop method using fluke 1653 at MR system (TN) in hospital. But got abnormal results. The primary (upper) display showed 0.16 - 0.2 (loop impedance) and secondary - 0.0 - 0.1 (earth resistance) Is there some limitations using this method? Cant find...

    Laser profiling / measurement

    I've shamelessly put this thread here rather than tools as I want to try to tap as many of the industrial brains as possible! Oh, and it's also not electrical! Been asked for a suggestion by my lil' bro' who does precision calibration of industrial kilns for a UK firm operating globally: They...

    E7 Ze & PFC measurement??

    Hi Guys & Gals, So Im fitting two small 1.7kw storage heaters on Monday. There is already two fitting, fed from an old Wylex cu with rewireable fuses. The cable for the excisting heaters are buried. So my first thought was to fit a new 4 way rcd board so I could add the two new ones. Now I know...

    Measuring ZE - Am I getting too high a measurement? - what is 'normal range'?

    Hi all, I've just put in a new 32amp ring main in a domestic Crabtree Starbreaker box , I've tested for R1 + R2 at all of the 12 sockets in the ring (a loft conversion) and I'm getting 0.36 as the highest reading. When I test for ZE I'm getting 1.28 which when I add this to R1 + R2 I'm getting...

    Fluke 1654B loop measurement - how does it measure the Re bit?

    Hi Guys, I've just swapped over to a Fluke 1654B MFT and I have a question about measuring the Re using the loop test function. Anyway, on the full caffeine loop test there is a little button where you can toggle the lower display to swap between PEFC measurement and the Re element of the Ze...

    IR testing not settling on a measurement

    Morning to all the good people out there. When insulation resistance testing using Megger MFT 1710, sometimes the value never get to >999, it will keep rolling over random numbers and never settle which i do for about 15-20 seconds and give up. I may expect to see this on older cable but i've...

    earth fault loop three methods?

    when confirming auto disconnect of the supply it is necessary to determine the external earth fault loop impendance of the system. What three methods can this be achieved? So the external earth what loop impendance is the supply companies end is that right?

    Fluke Memory

    Is anyone able to tell me how the memory works on a Fluke tester. Does it store sets of results? Allowing you to work during the day doing 2 seperate jobs, then later in the evening do the paperwork without getting data mixed up.
