Contact resistance, or CRES, is one of those problems that most engineers prefer not to think about until it’s staring them in the face. For years, it could be managed quietly with routine probe card ...

So you have power circuit breakers at your facility, and they seem to be just fine, sitting there quietly doing their job. What you may not realize is that even though your circuit breakers are ...

Heightened reliability and safety concerns have resulted in new maintenance programs and techniquesEvery year, additional pressures are placed on operation and maintenance managers to provide a higher ...

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 ...

Download this article in PDF format. Proper wiring and probing/contacting are critical to making successful measurements. When testing cells or batteries, using good engineering practices is important ...
