Trending the insulation resistance might not be relevent, as insulation resistance measurement is very much dependent on temperature, weather condition etc. I would think that trending PI for each unit is the only data that would give relevent reference to your customer on how good is...
By 3/10, I believe you are talking about the Normal Inverse (NI) curve. Formulas below:-
t = (k.B)/((I/Is)^a - 1)
where t = operating time (sec)
k = TMS (time multiplier settings)
I = measured current value (A)
Is= set current value
a B
Normally...
I saw in tv once that the cops were experimenting on using high voltage (something like 10-15 kV) to disable cars during chase. Basically the idea is to fry all your fuses (and probably some ECUs as well) to make all electronics fail. Something that can be dangerous because power steering and...
