Every ski resort have their own electrical engineering team
to monitor the operation of gondolas, ski lifts, kitchen, hotel, staff
accommodations and all other buildings. This team of technicians and engineers
are to be available everywhere and at all times to ensure that everything is
working smoothly. During summer, maintenance and troubleshooting works are
being done.
Dave Monminie is an electrical supervisor at Sunshine
Village Ski and Snowboard Resort in Banff National Park. He came across Agilent’s
website while searching for multimeter to replace his old Fluke 12 which he
accidentally dropped from 30 feet up a ski lift tower. While researching, Dave
also came across Ideal, Greenlee and Fluke’s meters, but thought that U1194A Handheld
Clamp Meter was the one. But he then saw the U1213A Handheld Clamp Meter with
Bluetooth connectivity and thought that it could be a very useful tool, and
will be able to turn a 2-person job into a 1-person job.
Here are some examples
given by Dave:
On our Great Divide lift here at Sunshine Village, there was a 10 amp
breaker located inside our top operator's shack, wayyyyy up there out of sight,
which was tripping. The circuit feeds 4 different branches which are outside,
10 meters or so to the ladder and up in the return station which looks much
like the drive station below.

Having just hiked for an hour and a half to the top, I was the only
person available to troubleshoot. The problem was that when the breaker was
reset, it would trip before I could get into position up in the station to take
a measurement. Now, I could have disconnected all the branches, went down the
ladder, flipped the breaker, climbed back up the ladder, placed the amp clamp
on a wire, touched it to the power rail with my hand, and noted the amperage
draw, but that creates arcing and sparking which our all too finicky
electronics do not appreciate. If only I could see the display on a clamp meter
measuring the amperage of one of the branch circuits all the way up in the
station while I flipped the breaker down in the shack, I could find the problem
all by myself. It'd be like I was in two places at once.
Mentoring is another area I’d find it useful. The doors to our lift
control cabinets are pretty narrow, and definitely have room for only one pair
of shoulders at a time. Having a second display, on my android phone, would
allow me to see what my apprentice is seeing while measurements are being made.

In regards to safety, our lift motor control cabinets are 480volts.
It'd be much faster, safer and convenient to kill the incoming power, attach
the meter leads inside the cabinet, close the doors and then power up to take
measurements rather than have to change our clothes from snow gear to flash protection
clothing and back again every time we need to open these doors.

Another thing we could have done more safely was when we recently suffered
flood damage from an incredible amount of rain in the Bow Valley, Alberta. Our
warehouse flooded and the distribution panel was approximately 3 feet under water. When the water eventually
drained, we pressure washed the bus bars, set up fans and waited 3 days for everything to dry out, did
continuity tests from phase to phase and phase to ground. Everything checked out...
still, it would have been safer to energize the
distribution panel from the generator room outside and watch the
readings from a safe distance.
