16 Electrodynamometer-type instrument

2. Damping Air-friction damping is employed for these instruments and is provided by a


pair of aluminium vanes, attached to the spindle at the bottom. These vanes move in a
sector-shaped chamber.
2.9.1 Torque Equation of Electrodynamometer-type
Instruments
Let, i1 = instantaneous value of current in the fixed coils, (A)
i2 = instantaneous value of current in the moving coils,
(A) L1 = self-inductance of fixed coils, (H)
L2 = self-inductance of moving coil, (H)
M = mutual inductance between fixed and moving coils (H)
Flux linkage of Coil 1, ψ1 = L1i1 + Mi2
Flux linkage of Coil 2, ψ2 = L2i2 + Mi1
