If quality and reliability is affecting your output then the new Tinsley "Q" Meter may be just the product for you. Designed to exploit the unique electrical signature of any wound component, the Tinsley type 5867 "Q" Meter is in fact a fast operating and extremely sensitive inductance and resistance meter which can be used to compare almost any type of winding. Coils, motor rotors and stators or transformers can be reliably tested. Being simple to operate and with an option to operate from an internal rechargeable battery, the "Q" Meter is equally at home in the production area and in the field. With wound components previously assigned a signature value it can be used in various stages of the manufacturing process to identify changes that indicate a potential failure prior to completion of the component.

Alternatively, if used during planned maintenance of machines such as motors and generators it will identify developing faults before they become a catastrophic failure.
