    The document discusses different types of electrical measurement instruments including pointer movement meters, rectifier voltmeters, and ammeters. It explains that a pointer movement meter cannot accurately follow AC currents above 0.1Hz due to inertia. Rectifier voltmeters use full wave or half wave diode circuits to convert AC to DC for measurement. Ammeters can use current transformers to step down high currents safely for measurement. Exercises are provided to apply the concepts.

    AC measurement using PMMC
    PMCC with AC
    • Pointer will change its direction after every
    half cycle
    • It will only happen when the frequency is less
    than 0.1Hz
    • At 60Hz, the inertia of movement will prevent
    the pointer to follow the changing current
    • So it will remain at zero
    Full Wave Rectifier Voltmeter
    Calculate Rs for desired Range
    • Design Voltage is given in rms
    • Diode voltage drop is
    subtracted from peak voltage
    • PMMC deflection is
    proportional to average current

    Full Wave Bridge Rectifier Ammeter
    • To measure high currents safely we use current transformer which steps
    down current.
    • The secondary coil has many turns as compared to primary.
    • A simple arrangement could be secondary coil wound around the current
    carrying conductor like clamp meter.
