82 Permanent Magnet Moving Coil Instrument (PMMC)
‘The permanent magnet moving coil instruments are most sccurate Wype for
emensirements The action of these instruments is based on the motoring principle
‘When a currnt carving call Is placed in the magnetic feld produced by permanent
magnet, the coil experiences a force and roves.As the cil is moving and the magnet
{s permanent, the instrument is called permanent magnet moving coil instrument. This
base principle is called D’Arsonval principle. The amount of force experienced by the
coil fs proportional tothe current passing through the coil
The PMMC instrument is
