Moving Iron Instruments and Moving Coil Instruments | Electrical Measurement Theory


Moving-iron instruments are commonly used in laboratories and switch boards at commercial frequencies because they are very cheap and can be manufactured with required accuracy.


Moving-iron instruments can be divided into two types:


(1)Attraction type

In this type a sheet of soft iron is attracted towards a solenoid.

(2)Repulsion type

In which two parallel rods or strips of soft iron, magnetised inside a solenoid are regarded as repelling each other.

Moving Coil Instruments


The moving-coil instruments have a following two types:

(1)Permanent-magnet type

It can be used for D.C.only.

(2)Dynamometer type

It can be used both for A.C.and D.C.

PMMC - Permanent-magnet Moving-Coil Type Instruments


Figure of Permanent Magnet Moving Coil type instrument is show below:

A permanent-magnet moving coil-type instrument works on the principle that when a
current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it is acted upon by a force which tends to move it to one side and out of the field.


Electrodynamic or Dynamometer Instruments
In an electrodynamic instrument the operating field is produced by another fixed coil and not by permanent magnet. 


This instrument can be used as an ammeter or as voltmeter but is generally used as a wattmeter.


The deflecting torque is due to interaction of
magnetic fields produced by currents in fixed and moving coil.

Td ∝ I1 × I2

So, Td = K I1 × I2

where K is a constant.

Since the instrument is spring controlled, the restoring or contral torque(Td) is proportional
to the angular deflection θ

Tc ∝ θ

As Td=Tc for final deflection

So, θ ∝ I1 I2

Figer of Electrodynamic or dynamometer
instrument are shown below:

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
