PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION OF ELECTRICAL
INSTRUMENTS
An
electrical instrument essentially consists of a movable element and a scale to
indicate or register the electrical quantity being measured. The movable
element is supported on jewelled
Bearings
and carries a pointer or sets of dials. The movement of the movable element is
caused by utilizing one or more of the following effects of current or voltage:
1.
Magnetic effect-Moving-iron instruments
2.
Electrodynamics' effect- (i) Permanent-magnet moving coil (ii) Dynamometer type
3.
Electromagnetic-induction-Induction type instruments
4.
Thermal effect- Hot-wire instruments
5.
Chemical effect-Electrolytic instruments
6.
Electrostatic effect-Electrostatic instruments
Table
4.1. The principles of operation of electrical instruments are given in the
table for facility of reference.
