The difference between CCD and microbolometer thermal imaging

December 3, 2021 By David Herres Leave a Comment

CCDs and microbolometers

Most engineers are familiar with charge-coupled devices (CCDs) employed as image sensors. Pixels in a CCD sensor consist of P-doped metal-oxide semiconductor capacitors arranged in columns and rows to form an array. Light striking each pixel is converted to an electrical charge that varies according to the light intensity at that pixel. The CCD transfers […]

Three-phase testing basics – Mitigating harmonic current

December 14, 2018 By David Herres 2 Comments

An electrical conductor warms up when it conveys current. If the heat is high enough the conductor can be damaged, so it is beneficial to limit current flow. Three-phase electrical distribution systems are highly effective in limiting current flow without reducing the amount of power delivered to the load. They do this by separating phases […]

Handy test equipment for troubleshooting

July 21, 2017 By David Herres Leave a Comment

Not all test equipment needs to be expensive. Here are a few helpful tools that won’t break the bank. Electricians doing residential, commercial or industrial work need to know with absolute certainty whether a wire or terminal is live and whether a given piece of electrical equipment is energized at the power input terminals. Usually, […]

Fluke 8808A bench-type multimeter

December 30, 2016 By David Herres Leave a Comment

fluke 8808A

The multimeter had its roots in a surprising observation by Hans Christian Ørsted during a lecture in 1820. He saw that a compass needle deflected from its alignment with the earth’s magnetic north pole when a metal conductor carrying electric current was moved close by. This action suggested that an analog meter could be built […]

Current Digital Issue

A frequency you can count on There are few constants in life, but what few there are might include death, taxes, and a U.S. grid frequency that doesn’t vary by more than ±0.5 Hz. However, the certainty of the grid frequency is coming into question, thanks to the rising percentage of renewable energy sources that…
