Current transformer and Potential transformer are the types of instrument transformer. An instrument transformer is a special type of transformer that is used in the measurement of high voltage and high current, not allowing measuring instruments to come in direct contact with high voltage circuits. Potential transformer is also known as voltage transformer. In this … Read more
Maxwell inductance bridge is an AC bridge used for measurement of inductance of a coil by comparison with a variable standard self-inductance. Maxwell inductance bridge is shown in figure 1 under balance condition. Under balance condition, the current (Id) through the detector is zero. Hence current through arm ab and arm cd is the same. … Read more
AC Bridges are those circuits which are used for the measurement of unknown resistances, capacitance, inductance, frequency and mutual inductance. AC bridges operate with only an AC source. These bridges are very convenient and give the accurate result of the measurement. The construction of these bridge is very simple. Figure 1 shows an AC bridge. … Read more
Ionization type Vacuum gauge is a device which is used for the measurement of pressure in vacuum systems or in the very low-pressure region (below atmospheric pressure). It can measure pressure from 10-3 to 10-8 mm of Hg. Figure 1 shows the ionization type vacuum gauge. The gauge consists of 3 electrodes i.e. cathode (heating filament), grid and … Read more
Thermocouple Vacuum gauge is a device that is used for the measurement of pressure in vacuum systems or in the very low-pressure region (below atmospheric pressure). The working of this gauge depends upon the variation of thermal conductivity of a gas with pressure. The ability of a material to carry heat by conduction is called … Read more
Pirani gauge is a device which is used for the measurement of pressure in vacuum systems or in very low-pressure ranges from 10-1 to 10-3 mm of Hg.
