ASSIGNMENT 5

Q1. Explain Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC) instruments in detail with proper
diagram, constructional features and working. State advantages and disadvantages also.

Q2. Define the extension range of PMMC ammeter by using shunt resistor with derivation. Also
derive the expression for extension range of PMMC Voltmeter by using series resistor.

Q3. The resistance of a moving coil voltmeter is 1200Ω. The moving coil has 100 turns and is
4cm long and 3cm wide. The flux density in the air gap is 6*10-2 Wb/m2. Find the deflection
produced by 300V, if the spring control gives a deflection of 1ᵒ for a torque of 25*10-7Nm.

Q4. The meter element of PMMC instrument has a resistance of 5Ω and requires 15mA for full
scale deflection. Calculate the resistance to be connected (i) in parallel to enable the instrument
to read upto 1A. (ii) in series to read upto 15V.
