The Netherlands 11/99 Safety Information This meter has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 348. To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow all safety and operating instructions in this manual. If the meter is not used as described in this manual, the safety features of the meter might be impaired. • Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly. • Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous. • Do not apply more than 300V between a terminal and earth ground. • Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. • When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. • Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead. • V (e.g. 300V) means volts dc or volts ac rms.

ASSIGNMENT NO.1 Reference Books: TITLE: Statistical analysis using voltmeter PROBLEM STATEMENT: Carry out Statistical Analysis of Digital Voltmeter. Calculate mean, standard deviation, average deviation, and variance. Calculate probable error. Plot Gaussian curve. OBJECTIVE: 1. To understand importance of statistical analysis. 2. To understand analysis parameters.. REQUIREMENT: Resistance, DC power supply, bread board, digital voltmeter. THEORY: Arithmetic Mean: The most probable value of a measured value is the arithmetic mean of the number of readings taken. The best approximation will be made when the number of readings of the same quantity is very large. Theoretically, an infinite number of readings would give the best result, although in practice, only a finite number of measurements can be made.

  • Question Bank Modern Electronic Instrumentation
    Question Bank Modern Electronic Instrumentation . DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING Dr. Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology Department of Electronics and Instrumentation Unit – I (Two Marks with answers) 1. Calculate the value of the multiplier resistance on 50V range of a DC voltmeter that uses 500μA meter movement with an internal resistance of 1KΩ. The sensitivity of a 500μA meter movement is given by S = 1/Im = 1/500μA = 2KΩ / V. The value of the multiplier resistance can be calculated by Rs = S * Range – Rm = 2KΩ / V * 50V - 1KΩ = 100 KΩ - 1 KΩ = 99KΩ 2. State the advantages of ramp type DVM. It has a better resolution and it can be adjusted because the resolution of digital readout is proportional to the frequency of local oscillator. The polarity of the signal which is to be measured can be indicated by adding external logic. In this the analog to digital signal converted into time and the time can be easily digitized. It is easy to design and cost is low. 3. Define Loading effect in voltmeter. A voltmeter is connected in parallel with the circuit across which the voltage is being measured. The loading effect of the meter will be minimal if the meter resistance is much larger than the circuit resistance. Ideally, the voltmeter resistance should be infinite. 4. List the sources of errors present in the Q meters. At high frequencies, the electronic voltmeter may suffer from losses due to the transit time effect. The effect of shunt resistance is to introduce an additional resistance in the tank circuit, which can balance the meter, but only for certain period of time.

  • A DIGITAL PHASE ANGLE METER for POWER FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS by JOHN P. GILES B.Sc., B.E. PROJECT REPORT for the DEGREE of MASTE
    A DIGITAL PHASE ANGLE METER FOR POWER FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS BY JOHN P. GILES B.Sc., B.E. PROJECT REPORT FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ENGINEERING SCIENCE IN THE SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES DECEMBER 1974 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 46353 -2. SEP 75 LIBRARY DECLARATION It is hereby declared that the work described in this thesis has been performed by the author and has not previously been submitted for a post-graduate degree to any other University or institution. ABSTRACT A Digital phase angle meter is described which is primarily designed for power frequency phase angle measurements in the range 40 - 1000 Hz. The instrument is designed for measuring slowly changing signals of the type found in standardization or calibration of industrial phase angle indicators or transducers, where the 1 second or 10 second aperture time is of no consequence. The result is displayed digitally directly in degrees. No setting up procedures are necessary before taking a measurement. The accuracy of the instrument described is 0.5 of a degree plus or minus one digit. A frequency measuring function is also provided for measurements in the range 1 - 2000Hz. The factors which limit phase angle measure­ ment accuracy are described, together with the methods by which the induced errors are reduced or eliminated. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This investigation was conducted as part of the require­ ments for a Master of Engineering Science in the School of Electrical Engineering of the University of New South Wales* The guidance of Associate Professor G* J. Johnson in this project is sincerely appreciated* The comments of Mr* F* Lewin on the draft copy are gratefully acknowledged* 1 CONTENTS page number ABSTRACT ACKNOWLEDGMENTS TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 1.
