Tips Using the Independently Floating Isolated Inputs 6 Using the Independently Floating Isolated Inputs You can use the independently floating isolated inputs to measure signals that are independently floating from each other. Independently floating isolated inputs offer additional safety and measurement capabilities compared to inputs with common references or grounds. Measuring Using Independently Floating Isolated Inputs Figure 39.
Fluke 190 Series II Users Manual • Additional safety. Since the commons are not directly connected, the chance of causing short circuit when measuring multiple signals is greatly reduced. • Additional safety. When measuring in systems with multiple grounds, the ground currents induced are kept to a minimum. A B C D Because the references are not connected together inside the test tool, each reference of the used inputs must be connected to a reference voltage.
