Re: EV Energy consumption

Can I use a 10:1 or 20:1 attenuator in place of the X100 differential probe to measure mains voltage as long as I keep my laptop and scope isolated from any contact with building ground or mains power? Using a 4425 or 3423 automotive scope.

Re: need help understanding this 220 volt AC waveform

Thanks. I never thought about using RMS setting in pico. I have attached a circuit diagram and photos of the mfg diagrams for the pump protection module and capacitor / starter boxes. I think I will replace the run capacitor and see if helps. I will also post it in the T&M forum. I'm really curious ...

Re: need help understanding this 220 volt AC waveform

I couldn't think of where else to post it. I was hoping someone that understood 3 phase electric vehicles motors would be able to explain this. Do you know of another forum that might help?

need help understanding this 220 volt AC waveform

I have been unable to find anything online to help me understand what is going on in this waveform. I am hoping somebody on this site should be able to figure it out. This is a 220 volt AC, capacitor start ,single phase deep well pump. It has 2 line voltage wires and one ground wire. I am using pico...

Re: rattling dodge intrepid

Great question. Yes they were both at about 750 rpm. I should have mentioned that in the original post. From now on when I post something I will make sure all the screen shots are zoomed in the same to make comparison easier.

Re: rattling dodge intrepid

This car was sent to me from another shop because they were too busy to get to it, and the lady needed it repaired ASAP.
