Thinking about the measurement details caused by a light-emitting diode

Accuracy of measurement results depends on the right method and precision instrumentation, and sometimes LEDs hidden in power outlets can cause unexpected measurement errors.

Previously, customers were using the PA310 power meter with a minimum current range of 5 mA. The wiring method is shown in Figure 1. The current value shows 1.9 mA. The customer test task requires measurement of standby power consumption. The 1.9 mA current on the instrument will have an impact on the measurement results. Where does 1.9 mA come from? How should I remove that?

The telephone communicates with the customer. It is recommended that the customer current channel not be connected to the measurement line, and the no-load current is zero. Initially suspected that the customer used the plug may have leakage current, but the customer troubleshooting measurement circuit has not found the cause. The next day, the customer brought the instrument and measurement system to our positioning problem. Our engineers found that this was the case. We tried to measure the current value from the live line and the neutral line to measure the current value, eliminating the influence of stray capacitance. After thinking about it, is there a current in the neutral and the live line? Is there a small load in the power socket? Shun vines, the culprit is actually an LED indicator on the plug!

After this case, we summarize and explain to the customer what needs to be paid attention to during the measurement:

1) The customer ignores the current of the LED indicator of the power strip when measuring.

2) When the measured loop current is small and the voltage is high, the current meter internal connection method is adopted;

3) The current measurement access point is located at the lower end of the potential (such as the neutral line) to prevent stray capacitance from generating leakage current.

When measuring the standby power consumption, in order to facilitate the measurement, the user will use the power strip for wiring, as shown in Figure 1, so the wiring must pay attention to the following three points:

1. Is there an LED indicator on the power strip, and if so, the current of this indicator is measured as the load current. The plug-in wiring is shown in Figure 1. Most of the plugs will have LED indicators. The current flowing through the LEDs after power-on is generally mA level. Therefore, it will bring errors to the measured current, especially the standby power consumption. Big.

2. There are two ways to measure the voltage, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Take the voltage wiring method

The PA310 voltage measurement input impedance is 2MΩ. If the measured voltage is 220V, the current flowing through the voltage measurement terminal is 0.11mA. If the voltage is measured in mode 1, the current of 0.11 mA will not be measured by PA310, and if the voltage is measured by mode 2, as in the case of the LED indicator, this 0.11 mA is measured to make the measurement standby power consumption. The error increases.

3. The current channel is connected to the high end and the low end. The measurement results are also different. There are some stray capacitances between the internal board shielding case and the case (there are capacitors in the two insulated conductors in the space). If the current channel is connected to the high end. The leakage current (red mark line in Figure 3) is generated, so the current measurement input should be stringed at a lower common mode voltage (lower side).

In summary, since the current value measured by the standby power consumption is very small, care must be taken in wiring to avoid introducing additional errors. Recommended wiring for standby power measurement is shown in Figure 4.

Although the use of the power strip can achieve the purpose of measuring wiring, but the exposed wires not only bring security risks, but also lead to staggered wires, easy to connect wrong. The ZLG JXH10A junction box is perfect for solving these problems.

Therefore, in the high-precision measurement, in addition to the use of high-precision measuring instruments, the correct measurement method is required. A good measurement method will do more with less.

Grow Lights are a great choice for growers who are dealing with hot HPS lights and want to change to something that's going to run cooler. Although Led Grow Lights do produce heat,the smaller models might not bring up the temperature of your grow space.Even the more powerful models of LED Grow Lights that produce a lot of heat still have built-in cooling systems to help prevent the heat from beaming directly down onto your plants.



Yields! With a quality Grow light and an average-to-good grow,you can expect yields of about 0.5g/watt. It depends a lot on strain,and pro growers can yield even more,but that's a good rule of thumb.As an example, a 200W LED (200W true power draw, not an "equivalent" wattage) would yield about 100 grams on average, or 3.5 ounces

Cautions:

1.Do not use the lights in dripping water or anywhere where they will get wet, water and electricity can be a dangerous mixture

2. The working environment for the light is -20~40 degree celsius,45%RH~90%RH.

3. To protect the light, Plz cut off the power when there is a lightning strike.

4. Don`t touch or move when the light working.

 

Suggestions:

1.Clean the dust inside every 6 months to ensure the good heat dissipation and long life time.

2.Don`t keep too short distance to the plant canopy to avert leaves bleaching.

3. Highly hang the lamp will weaken the energy and affect the growth cycle of the plants, so the lamp should not be hang  too high.

4. While taking care of the plants, please spray the leaves and branches 2-3 times everyday, to ensure the plants do not wrinkle a wither, and have no phenomenon of few fruit, and hard pericarp
