Both Tegra metering systems combine a basic accuracy of 0.5% with fast response, optional RS485 or relay output and an easy to read LCD display. Tegra configurations and product codes Description Product Code WITH RELAY O/P TEGRA-710-200 WITH RS485 MODBUS O/P TEGRA-710-010 WITH RELAY O/P TEGRA-810-200 WITH RS485 MODBUS O/P TEGRA-810-010 Note: The (*) sign refers to RS485 Modbus O/P and (**) to relay O/P Warnings In the interest of safety and functionality this product must be installed by qualified properly trained personnel abiding by local regulations. Voltages dangerous to human life are present at some of the terminal connection of this unit. Ensure that all supplies are de-energised before attempting any connection or disconnection. External installations must be sufficient to protect human life and equipment under fault conditions. Caution Follow the installation diagrams carefully. These products do not have internal fuses; therefore external fuses must be used for protection for safety under fault conditions. The current inputs of these products are designed for connection into systems via current transformers x/5A. Never open-circuit the secondary winding of a current transformer. Always ensure that the power is disconnected before separating the current connector from the Tegra. Operation outside specified limits may cause permanent damage or temporary disruption. Do not power or connect the instrument if any part is damaged.

MODULE 2 IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT I. OBJECTIVE 1. To know LCR Meter and its function 2. To know the construction of LCR Meter and how LCR Meter works II. BASIC THEORY LCR meter is an electronic electrical measurement to measure resistance, inductance and capacitance value. The utilization is relatively easy since today, a digital LCR meter is already in the market, and it makes the user easier to use it. Here is a brief explanation about resistor, inductor and capacitor Resistor is an electronic component that has the function to control and limit electricity. It is also used to limit the amount of current flowing in a circuit. According to its name, resistor is resistive and mostly is made from carbon. The unit of resistance is Ohm and symbolized by omega. Type of resistors mostly has the shape of tube with two copper legs. There are colored circles in the body to make the user know about the resistance without measuring it using measurement device. (example: ohm meter) Figure 1. Resistors types Inductor is symbolized by L. Usually in a form of coil, but sometimes has other forms too.

Advantages of an LCR meter 1. One thing that is evident is that it is compact and a three in one sort of a measuring unit which is obviously preferable. 2. Other than this it is also worth mentioning here that an LCR meter is quite accurate and gives the readings with a high precision. 3. It can also tell about the angle between the voltage and the current measure if needed. 4. It is easy to calibrate and quick to use, the user just needs to connect the two probes of the meter to the DUT as shown below: Transducer This article is about an engineering device. For the similarly named concept in computer science, see Finite state transducer. A transducer is a device that converts energy from one form to another. Usually a transducer converts a signal in one form of energy to a signal in another. Transducers are often employed at the boundaries of automation, measurement, and control systems, where electrical signals are converted to and from other physical quantities (energy, force, torque, light, motion, position, etc.). The process of converting one form of energy to another is known as transduction. various types of transducer measurement of strain gauge A strain gauge is a device used to measure strain on an object.
