PICO PQ326

A standalone milliohm meter, independent from an oscilloscope and with independent software

Mount Auto Equipment explains that the Pico PQ326 is a tool which features precise accessories such as the Kelvin clamps and live temperature compensated milliohm readings to bring far greater detail and precision than standard multi-meters.
Alongside the proprietary, it allows for graph-based analysis and the ability to view balancing and deviations of the components.
This enhanced detail makes it an essential tool
for technicians to find tears, inefficiencies, damage, and failures in electric vehicle
drivetrains and within general automotive components such as fuel pumps, A/C motors, egr valves and more.
Electric driven vehicles use three-phase motors and the ability to test resistance between phases is crucial to seeing the health of a motor with Realtime Temperature calculation.
The Pico Milliohm tester tests all three phases of a motor generator at once in under a minute, drastically lowering diagnostic time, and can then print, save and send these software results.
The resistance measurement graphed overtime is far more precise and cuts diagnosis time down compared to a standard multi-meter.
Particularly, Phase balancing is an essential diagnostic test as deviations beyond one percent or beyond manufactured specifications can potentially damage components.
These variants in the circuit draws greater amperage, generating mass heat and friction and eventually can lead to component failure.
With a graphical display, this information becomes visible, as fluctuations over time periods and varying conditions can easily be seen.
Beyond the specialised application for Electric drivetrains, the Pico Milliohm tester can find accurate failures in all other general electrical wiring such as high speed Can networks.
The precise data packets sent from modules are sensitive and easily corrupted from loose terminals, weak connections, minor tears/fraying and broken insulation which can be detected by graphing resistance over time.
The varying resistance across screwing bolts that are torqued to specification, can be measured easily with the quality Pico Milliohm tester.
When high voltage current flow passes through these components, incorrect torque and poor contact will generate heat, potentially damaging the related components.
Using this data displayed graphically, then
allows for testing underneath time periods and vibrational conditions and allows the technician to test weld contacts, grounding points, and other electrical components with far greater detail.
Compared to a standard Multi-meter, Mount
Auto Equip Services says the software and the hardware of the Pico milliohm tester allows
for technicians to extract and record quality data and more accurately diagnose electrical symptoms.
