1 Measuring Stray Voltage What to measure: >Steady state >Motor starting transients >Impulses September Steady state Where to measure: >All known cow contact points >Stanchions >Parlors >Ramps >Outdoor locations September
2 Impulses What to measure: >Cow trainer influence >Electric fencer influence >Crowd gate influence >Load switching influence September How to make stray voltage measurements My examples use the following instruments: Tektronix THS720P Fluke 123 Scopemeter Dranetz 658 Simple average reading DVM There are several other equally or better qualified instruments to use. These instruments were on hand at the time this presentation was prepared. September
3 Measuring steady state Items to consider: >Average versus true RMS readings >AC only versus AC+DC readings >Motor starting transients September Measuring impulses Items to consider: >Peak or Peak-Peak values >Measure the duration September
4 Comments on Duration Duration may have two (2) meanings: In stray voltage research work it is considered the time between zero crossings of an impulse. In industry it may be considered the time difference between the point an impulse reaches 90% of the peak value and when it decays to 50% of the peak value. September Before you measure make sure your equipment is functioning properly! The following examples are intended to show the limitations of equipment and methods to avoid measurement errors. September
5 Basic Equipment Testing During these tests we will investigate: >60 Hz sine, triangular and square waveforms >Frequency response >Crest factor >Accuracy >Sampling rate September Hertz sine waveforms with and without DC voltages The purpose of this test is to determine if your instrument can block DC voltages. Normally as a power supplier we are investigating the influence of 60 Hertz power line voltages. Meters that do not block DC voltages can result in erroneous readings. Be sure to do an initial check at the site for DC voltages and record the background level. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 10 cforster@forstereng.com 5
6 This is what an AC voltage with DC present will look like on an oscilloscope September Experiment with blocking DC September
7 60 Hertz Sine, Triangular and Square waveforms These tests will show the reason why a true RMS meter should be used. The reading errors will vary between instruments. I am using the sine, triangular and square waveform since these are the simplest to obtain with a function generator and they give a good indication of the meter variations that can occur. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com Hertz Sine waveforms In this test our true RMS meter read 1.03 volts AC and my average reading meter agreed, indicating 1.05 volts AC. An average reading meter assumes all waveforms are perfect sine waves. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 14 cforster@forstereng.com 7
8 60 Hertz Triangular waveforms In this test our true RMS meter read volts AC and my average reading meter indicated 1.01 volts September Hertz Square waveforms In this test our true RMS meter read 1.54 volts AC and my average reading meter indicated 1.78 volts September
9 Pulse type waveforms and the CREST FACTOR When the ratio of the peak voltage to the RMS voltage exceeds about 3 times, most true RMS meters fail to measure correctly September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 17 Experiment with Sine waveforms Triangular waveforms Square waveforms Crest factor September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 18 cforster@forstereng.com 9
10 Instrument Bandwidth BW Every instrument should be able to measure 60 Hertz frequencies correctly. As we increase the frequency of the waveform the accuracy of the instrument may vary. In most cases the instrument measures a value lower than the correct value. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 19 Instrument Bandwidth BW. For the next test we will apply a sine wave of varying frequency from 100 Hertz to 2,000,000 Hertz. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 20 cforster@forstereng.com 10
11 Instrument Bandwidth BW. Here are the bench test results with approximately 0.5 volts rms input: Frequency Tektronix Fluke Dranetz 100 Hz ,000 Hz khz khz ,000 khz September Instrument Bandwidth BW. If we increase the frequency the errors become greater. For these bench tests the input was approximately 0.5 volts RMS input: Frequency Tektronix Fluke 10 MHz MHz MHz MHz September
12 Instrument Bandwidth BW. As we increase the frequency there are other factors that can cause erroneous readings. We will observe these phenomena during the lab tests. September Experiment with increasing frequencies September
13 Sampling Rates A digital instrument measures by sampling the varying input voltage or current and then calculating the result. If the rate of sampling is too low, the unit may miss a short impulse. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 25 Sampling Rates... Another problem with low sampling rates is aliasing September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 26 cforster@forstereng.com 13
14 Measuring Impulses If the impulse you are trying to record is repetitive such as a fencer, cow trainer or crowd gate, the triggering of the instrument is simpler. Normally the impulse will be recorded each time it occurs or at least periodically. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 27 Measuring Impulses... If the impulse you are trying to record is a random occurrence or maybe just a single event, triggering can be a problem. I am assuming your instrument is fast enough to record the impulse. September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 28 cforster@forstereng.com 14
15 Setting up the scope to trigger There are several decisions to make when setting trigger levels: Channel A, B or external Rising or falling slope Exact trigger level Exact trigger time September 2000 cforster@forstereng.com 29 Setting the Tektronix 720 Set vertical menu: Coupling-AC Invert-n/a Bandwidth-Full Position-n/a Probe-Important!

23 In summary. To record single events you generally have to: Choose the Channel to trigger on. Set the magnitude level at which the unit will trigger Set estimated vertical and horizontal sensitivity Set type of input and scale multipliers Set bandwidth if adjustable Set pre-trigger position Choose type of waveform if selectable Choose pos. or neg. trigger mode Tell instrument to stop after one sweep September Let s measure an impulse...
