  • Bridge Circuits for the Measurement
    Malaya Journal of Matematik, Vol.S, No.2, 3089-3093, 2020 https://doi.org/10.26637/MJM0S20/0792 Bridge circuits for the measurement C. Mani,1 S. Ravi,2 V. Sathya Narayanan 3 and S. Aarthi Suriya 4 Abstract In this projects, a bridge circuit is a topology of electrical circuitry in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are ”bridged” by a third branch connected between the first two branches at some intermediate point along them. Bridge circuits now find many applications, both linear and non-linear, including in instrumentation, filtering and power conversion. As we saw with DC measurement circuits, the circuit configuration known as a bridge can be a very useful way to measure unknown values of resistance.

  • Bridge Measurement
    2 Bridge Measurement 2.1 INTRODUCTION Bridges are often used for the precision measurement of component values, like resistance, inductance, capacitance, etc. The simplest form of a bridge circuit consists of a network of four resistance arms forming a closed circuit as shown in Fig. 2.1. A source of current is applied to two opposite junctions and a current detector is connected to other two junctions. The bridge circuit operates on null detection principle and uses the principle of comparison measurement methods. It compares the value of an unknown component with that of an accurately known standard component. Thus, the accuracy of measurement depends on the bridge and not on the null detector. When no current flows through the null detector, the bridge is said to be balanced. The relationship between the component values of the four arms of the bridge at the balancing is called balancing condition or balancing equation. Balancing equation gives up the value of the unknown component. Fig. 2.1 General form of a bridge circuit 2.1.1 Advantages of Bridge Circuit The various advantages of a bridge circuit are: 1. The balance equation is independent of the source voltage magnitude and its impedance. Bridge Measurement 53 Wheatstone Bridge under Small Unbalance As discussed in previous section different galvanometers have different current/voltage sensitivities. Hence, in order to determine whether the galvanometer has the required sensitivity to detect an unbalance condition the bridge circuit can be solved for a small unbalance by converting the Wheatstone bridge into its equivalent Thevenin’s circuit. Let us consider the bridge is balanced, when the branch resistances are R1, R2, R3 and RX, so that at balance R R _____1 3 RX = R2 1 Let the resistance RX be changed to DRX creating an unbalance.

Measurement: Measurement of a given quantity is essentially an act or result of comparison between the quantity (whose magnitude is unknown) and predetermined or predefined standards. Two quantities are compared the result is expressed in numerical values. www.vidyarthiplus.com www.vidyarthiplus.com EE 33-Measurements and Instrumentation 2. Basic requirements for a meaningful measurement: The standard used for comparison purposes must be accurately defined and should be commonly accepted. The apparatus used and the method adopted must be provable (verifiable). 3. Significance of Measurement Importance of Measurement is simply and eloquently expressed in the following statement of famous physicist Lord Kelvin: ”I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about and can express it in numbers, you know something about it; when you cannot express in it numbers your knowledge is of meager and unsatisfactory kind” 4. Methods of Measurement Direct Methods Indirect Methods DIRECT METHODS: In these methods, the unknown quantity (called the measurand ) is directly compared against a standard. INDIRECT METHOD: Measurements by direct methods are not always possible, feasible and practicable. In engineering applications measurement systems are used which require need of indirect method for measurement purposes. www.vidyarthiplus.com www.vidyarthiplus.com EE 33-Measurements and Instrumentation 5.

  • A History of Impedance Measurements
    A HISTORY OF IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS PART I. THE EARLY EXPERIMENTERS 1775-1915 1.1 Earliest Measurements, DC Resistance It would seem appropriate to credit the first impedance measurements to Georg Simon Ohm (1788-1854) even though others may have some claim. These were dc resistance measurements, not complex impedance, and of necessity they were relative measurements because then there was no unit of resistance or impedance, no Ohm. For his initial measurements he used a voltaic cell, probably having copper and zinc plates, whose voltage varied badly under load. As a result he arrived at an erroneous logarithmic relationship between the current measured and the length of wire, which he published in 18251. After reading this paper, his editor, Poggendorff, suggested that Ohm use the recently discovered Seebeck (thermoelectric) effect to get a more constant voltage. Ohm repeated his measurements using a copper-bismuth thermocouple for a source2. His detector was a torsion galvanometer (invented by Coulomb), a galvanometer whose deflection was offset by the torque of thin wire whose rotation was calibrated (see figure 1-1). He determined "that the force of the current is as the sum of all the tensions, and inversely as the entire length of the current". Using modern notation this becomes I = E/R or E =I*R. This is now known as Ohm's Law. He published this result in 1826 and a book, "The Galvanic Circuit Mathematically Worked Out" in 1827. For over ten years Ohm's work received little attention and, what there was, was unfavorable. Finally it was made popular by Henry in America, Lenz in Russia and Wheatstone in England3.

Measurement of Mutual Inductance: Heaviside M.I bridge - Measurement of Capacitance: Schering's bridge – De Sauty's bridge, Measurement of frequency using Wien's bridge. CLASSIFICATION OF RESISTANCES For the purposes of measurements, the resistances are classified into three major groups based on their numerical range of values as under: • Low resistance (0 to 1 ohm) • Medium resistance (1 to 100 kilo-ohm) and • High resistance (>100 kilo-ohm) Accordingly, the resistances can be measured by various ways, depending on their range of values, as under: 1. Low resistance (0 to 1 ohm): AV Method, Kelvin Double Bridge, potentiometer, doctor ohmmeter, etc. 2. Medium resistance (1 to 100 kilo-ohm): AV method, wheat stone’s bridge, substitution method, etc. 3. High resistance (>100 kilo-ohm): AV method, Fall of potential method, Megger, loss of charge method, substitution method, bridge method, etc. SIC1203 MEASUREMENTS & INSTRUMENTATION UNIT - III ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS PREPARED BY : Dr. G.D.Anbarasi Jebaselvi, Dr. S.Poornapushpakala LOW RESISTANCE KELVIN DOUBLE BRIDGE The Kelvin double bridge is one of the best devices available for the precise measurement of low resistances.
