Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 3-phase sequence test function work?
The 3-phase sequence test function connects to each phase of a three-phase system and analyzes the phase relationship to determine the correct sequence. This is critical when installing or reconnecting motors, as incorrect phase sequence causes reverse rotation that can damage equipment and processes. The UNI-T UT219M provides clear indication of proper phase rotation, preventing costly mistakes during installation and maintenance.
Why is temperature measurement important for motor diagnostics?
Temperature measurement is a critical diagnostic tool for motor analysis. Excessive temperature can indicate bearing problems, inadequate ventilation, overloading, or electrical issues before they cause catastrophic failure. The UT219M's wide temperature range (-40°C to 1000°C) with included contact probe enables thorough thermal profiling of motor components, helping identify developing problems during preventive maintenance.
What is the purpose of the low pass filter function?
The low pass filter function filters out high-frequency components when measuring voltage on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and motor controllers. These devices use pulse width modulation that can cause standard meters to display inaccurate readings. By eliminating frequencies above power line frequency, the UT219M provides accurate voltage measurements on VFD outputs, essential for proper motor system diagnostics.
How does True RMS measurement benefit motor testing?
True RMS measurement is essential for accurate readings on motor systems, particularly those using variable frequency drives or electronic controllers. These systems produce non-sinusoidal current waveforms that cause significant measurement errors with average-responding meters. The UT219M's True RMS capability ensures accurate current readings regardless of waveform distortion, providing reliable data for motor load analysis and troubleshooting.
What is the warranty period for the UNI-T UT219M?
UNI-T provides a 12-month warranty on the UT219M, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions.
