Abstract
Methods and apparatus for electrical measurement are disclosed. An example electrical measurement device includes a conductive cable comprising a plurality of conductive filaments on a first end and an electrical connector on a second end, a cable mount that includes a base and an adjustable support attached to the base and the conductive cable to hold the plurality of conductive filaments in contact with a rotating element of a device under test during a measurement operation, with the conductive cable forming a portion of a circuit when the plurality of conductive filaments are in contact with the rotating element of the device under test and the electrical connector is in contact with an output.
Claims20
An electrical measurement device comprising:
- a conductive cable comprising a plurality of conductive filaments on a first end and an electrical connector on a second end, the plurality of conductive filaments held in contact with a rotating element of a device under test during a measurement operation via a cable mount;
- and
- a coupling to secure the plurality of conductive filaments to the cable, the coupling comprising a conductive coupling in contact with each of the plurality of conductive filaments and the conductive cable.
An electrical measurement system comprising:
- a first electrical measurement device comprising a first conductive cable having a first plurality of conductive filaments on a first end and a first electrical connector on a second end, the first plurality of conductive filaments being held in contact with a first portion of a rotating element of a device under test during a measurement operation via a first cable mount;
- and
- a second electrical measurement device comprising a second conductive cable having a second plurality of conductive filaments on a first end and a second electrical connector on a second end, the second plurality of conductive filaments being held in contact with a second portion of the rotating element of the device under test during a measurement operation via a second cable mount.
An electrical measurement system comprising:
- a conductive cable comprising a plurality of conductive filaments on a first end and an electrical connector on a second end, the plurality of conductive filaments held in contact with a rotating element of a device under test during a measurement operation via a cable mount;
- a coupling to secure the plurality of conductive filaments to the cable, the coupling comprising a conductive coupling in contact with each of the plurality of conductive filaments and the conductive cable;
- and
- an adjustable support attached to the conductive cable, the conductive cable forming a portion of a circuit through the plurality of conductive filaments that contact the rotating element of the device under test and the electrical connector in contact with an output.
