Transfer Instrument:
• Calibrated with a DC source and then used without modification
to measure AC
• The
h current should
h ld not exceedd 100mA.
• For ammeters of higher capacity, the moving coil is shunted
across by a low resistance
– to limit the current through moving coil to 100mA.
Electrodynamometer Voltmeter:
• The electrodynamometer movement is used as a voltmeter
– by connecting the fixed and moving coils in series with a high non-
non
inductive resistance.
Formulae is explained on the board.
Advantage

hysteresis and eddy current errors
• They have a precision grade accuracy for frequencies from 40
up to 500 Hz.
• Can be used on both AC and DC.
Disadvantage
• They have a low torque/weight ratio
– hence, have a low sensitivity
• They are more expensive than either the PMMC or the MI type
• Sensitive
