Digital Display System: Digital Display System – The rapid growth of electronic handling of numerical data has bought with it a great demand for simple systems to display the data in a readily understandable form. Display devices provide a visual display of numbers, letters, and symbols in response to electrical input, and serve as constituents …
Concentric Vane Repulsion Type Moving Iron Instrument: A variation of the radial vane instrument is the concentric vane Repulsion Type Moving Iron Instrument. The instrument has two concentric vanes. One vane is rigidly attached to the coil frame while the other can rotate coaxially inside the stationary vane, as shown in Fig. 2.9. Both vanes …

Moving Iron Instrument | Types of Moving Iron Instruments: Moving Iron Instrument can be classified into attraction and repulsion types. Repulsion type instruments are the most commonly used. Iron vane ammeters and voltmeters depend for their operations on the repulsion that exists between two like magnetic poles. The movement consists of a stationary coil of …
Electrodynamometer Instrument: Electrodynamometer Instrument – The D’Arsonval movement responds to the average or dc value of the current flowing through the coil. If ac current is sought to be measured, the current would flow through the coil with positive and negative half cycles, and hence the driving torque would be positive in one direction and …
Taut Band Instrument: The Taut Band Instrument utilizes the same principle as the D’Arsonval movable coil and fixed magnet. The primary difference between the two is the method of mounting the movable coil. The taut band movement has the advantage of eliminating the friction caused by a jewel-pivot suspension. The meter has a coil mounted …
Practical PMMC Movement: The basic Practical PMMC Movement (also called a D’Arsonval movement) offers the largest magnet in a given space, in the form of a horse-shoe, and is used when a large flux is required in the air gap. The D’Arsonval movement is based on the principle of a moving electromagnetic coil pivoted in …
Permanent Magnet Moving Coil Instrument (PMMC): In this type of Permanent Magnet Moving Coil Instrument (PMMC), we have a coil suspended in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet in the shape of a horse-shoe. The coil is suspended so that it can rotate freely in the magnetic field. When current flows in the coil, …
Working Principle of D Arsonval Galvanometer: The action of the most commonly dc meter is based on the fundamental principle of the motor. The motor action is produced by the flow of a small current through a moving coil, which is positioned in the field of a permanent magnet. This basic moving coil system is …
Different Types of Ammeters and Voltmeters: The following are the different types of ammeters and voltmeters in measuring instruments are PMMC Moving Iron Electrodynamometer Hot wire Thermocouple Induction type Electrostatic Rectifier Of these, the PMMC type can be used for dc measurements only, and the induction type for ac measurements only. The other types can …
