Introduction
Electrical engineers are required to work in hazardous environments near energized
equipment. There are certain tools they require to carry out their job effectively and
safely without causing any harm to themselves and those around them. Here’s a sneak
peek into some electrical engineering tools and their uses:
Electronic Measuring Probes
Current probes
Voltage Probes
Current Probe
Current probes are one of the key tools that electrical engineers use to take
measurements when the standard clamp on probes can’t reach. These may include
tight breaker panels, wrapped around irregular shapes, and large buss bars. This
sensor is highly flexible and has an output to provide direct readings for loggers,
power quality instruments, DMMs and Oscilloscopes. In the old days, Phase Tester
also was used to indicate the live wire in AC system.
Voltage Probe
These are usually used to measure high speed, signals up to 12 Volts. These are best
used to make measurements on circuit elements that have a high frequency which
require the least probe loading. A probe with lower input capacity can allow higher
input impedance at high frequency.
Voltage and Current Meters
Digital Voltmeters DVM
Voltage Testers
Digital Voltmeters DVM
DVMs are usually used to measure voltage and are general instruments for electrical
engineers that are used in laboratories and in the field. They are the most commonly
used instruments as they display voltage on LEDs or LCDs in a certain format that is
easier for electrical engineers.
Voltage Testers
A voltage tester, as the name suggests, is used for testing the presence of voltage in
a circuit. A voltage tester has a neon bulb with two wires attached to its bottom.
This is used to test the flow of current in a wire. A good voltage tester is rated for up
to 500 V. in the old days, Phase Tester also were used for this purpose.
Signal Generators
Function Generators
Radio Frequency
Function Generators
A function generators is a type of testing equipment or software that is used to
generate different sorts of waves, in different forms that range over different
frequencies. The most commonly forms of waves are sine, square and triangular.
These shapes are produced by the function generator in the process of repairing
electronic equipment.
Radio Frequency
This is the rate of fluctuation in a certain given range which receives and respond
to the frequency of radio waves and the alternate currents that carry radio signals.
RF currents usually don’t flow to the depth but remain at the surface of the
current.
These are some tools that are commonly used by electrical engineers to design,
test or analyze the presence, design, functionality of current and voltage.
