Fluke has introduced its 283 FC Solar Digital Multimeter and a283 FC True-RMS Wireless Clamp, geared towards solar professionals working in high voltage environments such as testing individual panels, strings or inverters in a PV array.

The multimeter is designed to enhance safety while providing technicians with reliable and repeatable results. Features include video and audio polarity indicators, as well as a user-defined limit gauge.

“Our digital multimeters are renowned for their exceptional accuracy, durability and safety features, making them the preferred choice of professionals across various industries for reliable and precise measurement,” says Jason Waxman, president of Fluke Corporation.

“The Fluke 283 FC is uniquely positioned to cater to this market with both CAT III 1500 and CAT IV 1000 ratings prioritizing features that increase efficiency, safety and reliability. It’s a powerful all-in-one tool for solar professionals.”

The company’s wireless current clamp measures both AC and DC current up to 60 A, which is meant to ensure precise readings for installations, electrical systems and industrial equipment. The company says the non-contact design allows for safe connections without touching live wires.

With the Fluke 283 FC digital multimeter and a283 FC wireless current clamp, the company adds that technicians can measure voltage and current simultaneously and automatically calculate VA power.

Carl Sagan and the Suppression of Uncomfortable Ideas

Published

Seminal astrophysicist Carl Sagan explains why uncomfortable ideas may be banned in religion, they must not be shunned in science.

This is an important concept in American life today, as conspiracy theorists are convinced that climate change denial cannot be considered in scientific circles.

I happened to bring this up in my interview with Dr. V. Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution, who has been amassing data on global warming since the 1970s.  He laughed, and explained, “If I could prove that human activity was not causing temperatures to rise, I’d be be one of the wealthiest and most famous scientists in world history.”

We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump

As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck.  Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.

If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.

Socialism and “Free Stuff”

Published

on

Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.

I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:

It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others.  It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.

Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious.  Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.

That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.
