Insulation failure is the root cause of many electrical conductors and equipment failures. When insulation fails, not only can equipment be damaged, but fire and shock can also result. Ideally, when ...

In a perfect world, electrical insulation would allow no current to flow through it. Unfortunately, several factors can — and will — result in the deterioration and ultimate failure of electrical ...

In the first part of this series on the highs and lows of resistance measurements, I discussed the basic principles for making two- and 4-wire resistance measurements for measuring resistances of less ...

In the second part of this series on the highs and lows of resistance measurements, I illustrated the differences between two-wire and four-wire resistance ...

Digital multimeters (DMM), once called voltmeters, have been described as the tape measure for engineers in the new millennium. With electronics and electrical circuits included in almost every ...
