Methods for Determining Cable Breakpoints

Methods for Determining Cable Breakpoints

When a cable or its internal components experience a breakpoint failure, it is challenging to intuitively determine the exact location of the breakpoint due to the external insulation covering. Here are several methods to quickly determine the breakpoint of wires and cables: Non-Damaging Cable Method Digital Multimeter Method: First, connect one end of the faulty … Read more

How to Use a Multimeter: A Comprehensive Guide

How to Use a Multimeter: A Comprehensive Guide

A multimeter, also known as a multimeter, tri-meter, or multi-use meter, is a multifunctional, multi-range measuring instrument. Generally, a multimeter can measure direct current, direct voltage, alternating voltage, resistance, and audio level, while some can also measure alternating current, capacitance, inductance, and certain parameters of semiconductors (such as β). Measuring AC voltage: As shown in … Read more

How to Measure a Bidirectional Thyristor with a Multimeter

How to Measure a Bidirectional Thyristor with a Multimeter

A bidirectional thyristor (also known as a bidirectional silicon controlled rectifier) is a semiconductor device that can conduct in both directions, widely used in power control and conversion circuits. To ensure its normal operation and performance, it is necessary to measure it using a multimeter. This article will detail how to use a multimeter to … Read more

How to Determine the Quality of Capacitors

How to Determine the Quality of Capacitors

How to Measure the Quality of Small Capacitors? 1. To test small capacitors below 10pF, since the capacitance of fixed capacitors below 10pF is too small, using an analog multimeter can only qualitatively check for leakage, internal short circuits, or breakdown phenomena.When measuring, you can use the multimeter on the R×10k setting, connecting the two … Read more

Never Test Inverter Output Voltage Casually!

Focus on “Jicheng Training”, specializing in automation education for 14 years It is generally believed that the inverter output voltage is 380 volts, and direct measurement should not be a problem. However, in reality, most multimeters cannot obtain correct readings when testing the inverter output voltage, and in some cases, the multimeter may even burn … Read more

Comprehensive Guide to Testing Various Transistors

Testing Transistors: 1. Testing Small Power Transistors A. Identifying Positive and Negative Electrodes (a) Observe the symbol markings on the casing. Typically, the casing of the diode is marked with the diode symbol, where the end with the triangular arrow is the positive electrode, and the other end is the negative electrode. (b) Observe the … Read more

Repair Techniques for Induction Cooker Circuit Board Failures

Repair Techniques for Induction Cooker Circuit Board Failures

1. Repair Procedure for Burnt IGBT or Fuse on Circuit Board If the current fuse or IGBT is burnt, you cannot immediately replace the component. You must confirm that the following other components are in normal condition before proceeding with the replacement; otherwise, the IGBT and fuse will burn out again. 1. Visually check if … Read more

Causes and Solutions for Circuit Breaker Tripping

Leakage Circuit Breaker / The working principle of the leakage circuit breaker is When functioning normally, there is no leakage current passing through the leakage protector except for the working current in the circuit. At this time, the current flowing through the zero-sequence current transformer (detection transformer) is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, … Read more
