The quality of the vacuum pump is decided by its mechanical structure and the quality of the oil, it must be well protected when using the vacuum pump. When using distilling volatile organic solutions, it will be absorbed oil that will lead to the increase of vapor pressure and the decrease of vacuuming efficacy. If it is acid gas, it will corrode the oil pump, and if it is steam, it will destroy the vacuum pump from turning oil into emulsion.

Before pipetting, it is required to make sure that the pipette, pipette tip and liquid are at the same temperature. In sucking liquid, the pipette must be kept in an upright position and the pipette tip shall be inserted 2-3 mm below the liquid surface. Before sucking the liquid, it is recommended to suck and release the liquid for several times to wet the suction nozzle (especially when it is going to suck liquid with a viscosity or when the density is different from water). At this time, two pipetting methods can be used: 

The first is the forward pipetting method. Press the button to the first stop with the thumb and then slowly release the button to the original point(suck the liquid of the fixed volume), and then press the button to the first stop point to drain out the liquid, wait for a while, continue to press the button to the second stop point to blow out the residual liquid, and release the button in the end.

The "input" and "output" terminals of a isolation transformer should be short-circuited to test their insulation resistance against the ground wire by a megohmmeter. When measuring by 1000V megohmmeter, the resistance value is greater than 2M ohms. The cross-sectional area of the isolation transformer input and output power lines should meet the requirements of its current value. It is appropriate to configure the electric current density of 2 ~ 2.5a /mm2.

Limit switch is a device that makes use of the collision of the machine moving parts to make the contacts operating to realize the control circuit is turned on or off, so as to achieve a certain control purpose. It cooperates with other devices to form more complex automation equipments in industry. Therefore, selecting more suitable limit switches will make the entire automatic control system becomes more reasonable and efficient.

For the digital crane scale, in order not to affect its weighing result, it is required to calibrate it regularly. After investigation, many customers either neglect to calibrate the digital crane scale or have the incorrect calibration method. Now let's introduce you how to calibrate the digital crane scale correctly.

After receiving the product, many customers find that the power of the voltage stabilizer is too small, and the functions are not enough, resulting in returns and replacements, unnecessary shipping costs, and waste of time and money. ATO explains how to buy the correct automatic voltage stabilizer to you.

The insulation performance of electrical equipment is usually judged by measuring its insulation resistance. In order to ensure the personal safety and the operation safety of electrical equipment, a minimum requirement is imposed on the insulation resistance between conductors of different phases or between the conductor and the equipment casing. In power engineering, the insulation resistance is measured quantitatively through an insulation tester, also called megohmmeter or megger, so as to determine whether there are insulation problems or hidden safety hazards.

The relay contacts’ jumping or switching on/off will cause the change of inductive load and further gas discharge. The current of relay contact on-off is small, there will be no electrical arc between contacts, but there will be a spark at the relay contacts. Due to the existence of inductance in the contact circuit, there will be overvoltage on the inductance when disconnecting the contact circuit. Together with the voltage supply in the contact gap, the contact gap that just separates a little will be broken down and discharged. Limited to energy, there will only be spark discharge. The conversion of capacitance between contacts and energy in inductance makes spark discharge disappear and reappear, becoming a high frequency signal, which will be crosstalk to related circuits by means of high frequency radiation, wire transmission and distributed capacitance, forming interference signals. Furthermore, spark discharges can also damage relay contacts and shorten the service life of contacts, so that sparks may ablate contact surfaces and make the surface uneven, resulting in failure of relay poor contact.

When using uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, people tend to unilaterally believe that there is no need to maintain batteries. However, the data show that there is about one third UPS host failure or abnormal operation caused by battery failure. Therefore, it is more and more important to strengthen the proper use and maintenance of UPS battery for prolonging the service life of batteries and then reducing the failure rate of UPS system.

Step up or step down transformer is an important part of power grid operation, it's of great significance to the stable operation of the power grid.
