]]> Fuses are a common circuit element and are key to protecting from overvoltage and overcurrent situations that can damage important circuits.
Fuse markings are typically stamped symbols located on the metal cap of the fuse.
Here is a helpful guide to common fuse markings used with instrumentation, taking a common fuse type as an example:
T 6.3A L 250V
The first letter, “T” in this case, is the fuse acting speed. Fast-acting fuses disconnect the circuit power more quickly than slow-acting.
The current rating is next. In this case, “6.3A”.
“L” is the fuse breaking capacity (or short circuit rating) which is defined as the amount of current that will cause the fuse to open if a fault or short circuit occurs. Low indicates very little over-current will cause an open. High capacity rated fuses will not open unless the current from a short circuit or fast event is significantly larger than the rated value of the fuse.
The maximum voltage rating is listed next, “250 V” in this case.

Table 1. Fuse Element Speed Markings

Marking Fuse Element Speed
FF Very Fast Acting (Flink Flink)
F Fast Acting (Flink)
M Medium Acting (Mitteltrage)
T Slow Acting (Trage)
TT Very Slow Acting (Trage Trage)

H High Breaking Capacity

]]> Yes.

As long as the signal amplitude and frequency does not exceed the input specifications.

When measuring ACV using the ACV mode, the DC components will be blocked.

When measuring DCV using DCV mode, the AC components will not be blocked, but you can minimize the AC effects by using a slower test speed or larger NPLC value. This will integrate the measurement over a longer time duration and will decrease the repetitive AC components.

]]> For convenience, we recommend connecting your instrument to your LAN using a router that can configure DHCP directly and use an internet switch to connect the LAN to the instruments you wish to control.

In some cases, you may wish to directly connect your computer to an instrument LAN port without a LAN available.

This requires:

  1. A crossover Ethernet cable. A through type cable will not work because most instrumentation does not have Tx/Rx switching capability at the physical LAN connection.

OR

2. An Ethernet switch and “through” type cables. Here, the switch configures the Tx/Rx routing and no special cabling is required.
