We use IR thermal scans to monitor connections in our stations. Hot or degrading connections were easily found that way.Graeme1858 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 08, 2020 1:02 pm SonnyE
It was not my intention to be a smartass. I thought your 26 zeros was a typo since 16 is the correct figure.
It would be good if you were to tone down the argumentative style of your responses as posted in this topic. We don't behave like that on TSS and we don't tolerate it when new members do.
Anyway, you'll be pleased to know I was able to measure the Tramlink East Croydon substation traction current in the DC track return cables last night. There was a variance which indicates a high resistance joint in one of them.

Perhaps you do too?
We had teams that performed the scans, then generated reports for work orders. Then we'd clean and remake the weak ones as needed.
All a part of preventative maintenance, because we were a Utility supplying customers. The Public can be a finicky lot.
I did not take you as being a Smartass. Merely repeating what a college Professor stated to us.
At the time mid (1970's) electrons were still all theory, and later became observed.
My point to him was we used real life tools to measure current.
Sorry to upset you. I'll just go away.
