  2. Electrical isolation test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_isolation_test

    The test often reveals problems that occurred during assembly, such as defective components, improper component placement, and insulator defects that may cause inadvertent shorting or grounding to chassis, in turn, compromising electrical circuit quality and product safety. [2]

    English: The video illustrates an experimental investigation performed on steel samples, i.e. tensile steel testing. It is to be noted that the video was obtained using the pictures shot during the test, and the test was not performed that fast. results are shown in the end in terms of stress-strain curves for each of the three tested steel samples.

  4. Multimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimeter

    A multimeter (also known as a volt-ohm-milliammeter, volt-ohmmeter or VOM) [1] is a measuring instrument that can measure multiple electrical properties. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A typical multimeter can measure voltage , resistance , and current , [ 4 ] in which case can be used as a voltmeter , ohmmeter , and ammeter .

  5. Ohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter

    An analog ohmmeter. An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of electric current). Multimeters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured.

  6. Spark testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark_testing

    Spark testing of tool steel Spark testing of mild steel. Spark testing is a method of determining the general classification of ferrous materials. It normally entails taking a piece of metal, usually scrap, and applying it to a grinding wheel in order to observe the sparks emitted. [1]

  7. Kelvin bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_bridge

    The operation of the Kelvin bridge is very similar to the Wheatstone bridge, but uses two additional resistors. Resistors R 1 and R 2 are connected to the outside potential terminals of the four terminal known or standard resistor R s and the unknown resistor R x (identified as P 1 and P′ 1 in the diagram).

  8. Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy-current_testing

    Variations in the electrical conductivity and magnetic permeability of the test object, and the presence of defects causes a change in eddy current and a corresponding change in phase and amplitude that can be detected by measuring the impedance changes in the coil, which is a telltale sign of the presence of defects. [5]

  9. Speed of electricity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_electricity

    The speed at which energy or signals travel down a cable is actually the speed of the electromagnetic wave traveling along (guided by) the cable. I.e., a cable is a form of a waveguide. The propagation of the wave is affected by the interaction with the material(s) in and surrounding the cable, caused by the presence of electric charge carriers ...
