Using an electrical leakage tester to identify fault is on ultrasound probe

Using an electrical leakage tester to identify
where the fault is on an ultrasound probe
2
In this video i show you how you can identify the
location of an electrical leakage issue on an
ultrasound probe by using a real time electrical
leakage meter. In this example i use the ULT-2020
from BC biomedical. Feel free to contact us for

Many people ask me what electrical leakage.Esther
they should be using to test their probes I
usually recommend the bc.biomedical ult 2020 and
i really like this tester.
5
it's got some automatic functions but what I
really like about it is the real.time monitoring
mode now this allows you to just display in
micro amps the current leaking through the probe
their first you need the probe in the back
6
current leaking through the probe their first you
need the probe in the back I like the flexible
conductivity probes that they have and i just
have plugged in there.
7
universal adapter so that i can plug the private
once we've turned the unit on we can click mode
and then turn on the power right and then we get
a leakage through the system.
8
Now that is basically out baseline it's very
close to zero so 1 2 micro amps now that is
basically out baseline it's very close to zero
so 1 2 micro amps that's quite low we can then
plug the protein to the universal adapter and
this probe.
9
it's quite an old probe and it has some damage on
the lens there so we're expecting some
significant leakage through that . and i'll show
you how we can identify at what point the damage
actually is now if I take this probe and insert
it into the water bath from each angle
10
so if i take it down this way and we can see as
it enters the water and then all of a sudden it
goes off range because that . has gone on the
water so don't actually draw on your probes
11
but if i were to you what you will be able to
imagine an imaginary line around there.sothat's
where the water line was then i can do it from a
different axes let's say we pick like this
12
and about their so the game can draw another
imaginary line this time it goes arround there
then if i do the final axis which is that way to
do it that way there.
13
you can see the intersection of those lines is at
that point so we know that the damage isat that
point so it's a very great way of identifying
where you leak is
