  • This video continues on with the Ultrasonic Level Lab. We are now going to take a 4-20 mA current reading with our Fluke Ammeter without blowing the fuse!
    Here is the first video for this lab: • Ultrasonic Level Senso...

    What is the name of the software used to show the current measurements on the PC?

    hi pete, can i use this setup on my conductivity controller? i was planning to put a tower lamp 24vdc as an output but i wasnt sure were terminal i will connect it. BTw im using Burkert conductivity controller type 8619 thanks

    Dear Proff. Thank you so much for your detailed and comprehensive explanation!
    Yet, I kindly have this question please, which has need running in my mind since ever!
    If we measure the current value on the other wire going out from the Analog module, Will we get 4 to 20 mA or not ?
    I do highly appreciate your answer

    Hlo, why u didn't connect the + mA to Fluke's 400 mA terminal directly..Why you short it with other lead wire?

      That jumper has a 250 ohm resistor that I use to demonstrate to the students how to change a 4 to 20 mA signal to a 1-5 Volt DC signal

    why is it that everytime i try to do troubleshoot sensors on site i get like 0.08ma reading but 90%RH (0%-100%) on a 4-20mA input

      Your fine teaching skills don't go without appreciation.
      FYI I have a mild learning disability and your high calibre presentations are going to help me pass my construction
      electrician IP Red Seal exam. ( Hopefully).
      I've passed the Alberta provincial journeyman exam recently, but the red seal will be icing on the cake.
      Thanks for all of the informative links on your website as well.
      Nice NASA t-shirt by the way Pete.

    So is it possible to measure any 4-20 mAanalog output signal (such as positioner, transmitter) ?

    • @PeteVree
      @PeteVree  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. Often an Instrumentation Tech. will be carrying a multimeter similar to this one: www.fluke.com/en-ca/product/calibration-tools/ma-loop-calibrators/fluke-789

    • @PeteVree
      @PeteVree  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The measurement I have shown is in Series. Have a look at the video at the following link to see how you can use a Fluke 773 Multimeter to take a non-invasive measurement of the 4-20 mA current: www.fluke.com/en-ca/learn/blog/electrical/how-to-measure-a-4-20ma-loop-signal

    If you add a resistor wouldn't that change the amps that you read at your meter?

    • @PeteVree
      @PeteVree  6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The transmitter accounts for the increased resistance by increasing the applied voltage to the circuit to maintain a constant current that reflects the process value.

    Why the resistor needs to be connected?
    Sorry for the dumb question.

    • @PeteVree
      @PeteVree  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      HI Vignesh, Thanks for the question. The resistor wasn't necessarily needed for this portion of the lab.
      However, in a later part of the lab, the resistor provides the specific load so that the 4 to 20 mA DC current can flow through the 250 ohm resistor and create a proportional voltage drop of 1 - 5 V DC, otherwise we have no means to change the current signal into a voltage signal.

      @@PeteVree i don't get this part.
      Isn't the whole point of the video to measure 4-20mA current in the circuit?
      Connecting the multimeter in series would achieve this easily, considering the multimeter can precisely measure mA range.
      What has voltage amd resistor got to do now with attempted measurement of feedback from the sensor which is in mA?

    • @trade1713
      @trade1713 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Sgt Brown sensor should regulate how much current flows through the circuit.
      Short is huge amount of current in short time.
      But sensor that measures a quantity of something should regulate mA.
