Looked in the fluke manual and propably figured the mistery. For the FieldSense to work properly according to manual: wire must contact the bottom of the fork opening. The only time it happens in the video is when AvE slowly disconnects the plug from isolating transformer 12:54 to 12:57 then in 12:58 he nudges the meter and the wire moves away from correct position. It doesn't work in the first try because that black thing has a square cross-section and during measurement it doesn't touch that small dimple in the middle of the measuring clamps. Sorry for my english, I'm not a native speaker.

@Ave To my knowledge the top cable on power lines is actually for the lightning protection, as it grounds all the masts together. So if lightning were to strike you wouldn’t get a huge voltage differential at one mast resulting in a gradually decreasing high voltage cone even around the bottom of the mast, but instead the voltage would be spread across all masts hence decreasing the risk. As for the three phase power transmission on landlines, you usually have a Delta configuration for the high voltage transmission. So there are just the 3 phases and no neutral connection. As it gets transformed down to a low voltage for the end user the secondary of the transformer is set up in a Star configuration, whereas the star point is the connection for the neutral. The neutral can then be grounded directly at the transformer and passed on to the consumer or as you mentioned, it can be grounded directly at each household by using a grounding rod.

In US residential power systems, all the neutrals and grounds are joined together at a bus bar in the home's breaker panel--not at the transformer on the pole. The bus bar is also joined via a solid-conductor copper wire to a steel stake that's driven into the ground. In older homes you sometimes see the ground provided by a wire clamped to a copper plumbing pipe, which is dangerous because modern use of plastic (PVC, etc.) interrupts the ground connection.

whatbuttondoipush fair enough but, in the spirit of shitting on the tool, 250mcm is still the smallest conductor size for 200A in 75'C aluminum. Not too mention that one you get down to lower temp rated conductors, the conductor size increases with ampacity rating even faster (60'C copper would need to be 250MCM and 60'C aluminum would need to be 350MCM). A proper tool would fit all conductors for the spec range.

I think the main problem is that the "button" on the back is not connecting to the black probe through the internal bridge (that can be seen when he opened the back). The black lead should not be connected to ground but "capacitively" connected to ground. I think that second that it worked (at around 12 minutes) it was cause AvE touched the black lead's tip and thus grounding (capacitively) the input, it worked. Also, on all these meters, the input impedance is megaohms or more thus you can easily touch the black lead while the red is connected to a live line with no problem.

The neutral returns through the ground ? doesn't seem like a good idea, the ground can become dry, also, if a high current is being drawn, there will be a potential difference across the ground, a couple of horses died due to a similar problem but with the ground wire. (Newbury horse racing deaths blamed on electrocution) In the UK the neutral is always a direct wired connection, the earth can be a ground stake, where the loop resistance is high they use a RCCD (GFI).

Sparky Projects earth return happens all the time in rural areas around 20kv +- some. They tend to have a large ground mat and strict limits on the current density in the ground. That said for years you could make big $$ resolving milk cows tits getting shocked due to non equal potential of the milking equipment. New code has mandated not grounding as such but equal potential binding of all equipment and the ground near the milk barn which has solved the problem for the most part. When you can’t achieve 0v because everything’s energized it’s best to just keep everything equal potential so no current can flow.
@upsidedownfarmer35136 жыл бұрын
You are referring to step potential. This is the result of improperly designed grounding systems not returning back to the Wye or leg of delta that was brought to ground. in other words not bonded correctly. Mike Holt has a good video on it. And grounding in itself has more to do with arresting rogue currents than with protecting people or things from potential. Rural networks are at great risk of lightning strikes due to the long open runs of aerial conductors and thus provisions must be made in the system to eliminate current spikes. Bonding is where the emphasis on safety is placed. Isolation transformers can be used to limit potential as well.

@4:40 How many of you hippies backed away from your computer screen so's not to get your scraggly hair caught in the grinder?

That statement should get into every elecrotechnic school textbook: "not only you are a zero, you are a high capacitance, low resistance zero. In other words, you have the potential of a ground."

I dunno, I can't hold that kind of handle design for more than 15 minutes before I need a nap.

That ceramic board is the resistor divider network. It's used to get a precision voltage reference.

hi AVE as an electrican and more importantly as a consumer i find it depressing that all of these brands get hollowed out and put on like a mask by chinese companies as an apprentice in the 90s i used to use Elliot lucas and i liked them as hand tools i dont know if they were either a uk or us manufacturer . just for the hell of it i was looking for a uk manufacturer of tools i could support i typed in elliot lucas spear and jackson popped up i thought oh spear and jackson bought them THEY MUST be a uk manufacturer so i looked into them turns out they are manufactured in china no wonder all that people care about now is the price branding means nothing the products are manufactured in china and multiple brand names are just screen printed on them .Its depressing we cant support british manufacturing anymore the only people we can support are british shops that sell this crap how depressing and how long before we cant even do that anymore . enjoy the videos keep it up alex

Unbalanced 3-Phase lines radiate a lot of energy. As a Railroad engineer (not whistle blower) we had issues when power lines paralleled the tracks that fed industries like carrier with large aluminum smelters. Most circuits on tracks are coded analog or digital with very low impedance. Having induced harmonics of 60 hz at significant power required special filters and sometimes exceeded the capability of the comm equipment to compensate.

Lol yer going to get so many armchair electricians in here. I contracted for Unisea as a apprentice a long time ago in Unalaska, Alaska. I used to sit in the motor controls rooms after work and put oops marks on their nice new Fluke equipment. It was one of the two places that was warm and dry. I remember asking the owner of the company why they don't produce wireless voltage testing equipment. He said they do, they're too expensive, and they don't work. He explained that the pitfalls of wirelessly measuring voltage and the training required to recognize those pitfalls would never outweigh the time savings. I see the price has come down considerably since then, I don't think these are practical at all. Thanks 4 testing.

In my old boarding school, the neutral and ground were both earth. So when people were sitting down in damp grass, they got a nice electric shock.
