FORMULA USED:

Where R Unknown resistance in

THEORY:
Wheatstone bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by
balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown
component. Its operation is similar to the potentiometer.
In the circuit on the left, R is the unknown resistance to be measured; P, Q
and S are resistors of known resistance and the resistance of S is adjustable. If the
ratio of the two resistances in the known leg (P/Q) is equal to the ratio of the two in
the unknown leg (R/S), then the voltage between the two midpoints (b and d) will be
zero and no current will flow through the ammeter. S is varied until this condition is
reached. The direction of the current indicates whether S is too high or too low.
Detecting zero current can be done to extremely high accuracy. Therefore, if P, S and
Q are known to high precision, then R can be measured to high precision. Very small
changes in Rdisrupt the balance and are readily detected. At the point of balance, the
ratio of R/S = P/Q.
PROCEDURE:
1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.
2. Set 12v in the RPS
3. The variable resistance is varied until the galvanometer (or) ammeter shows
the zero deflection.
4. The unknown resistance is calculated using the formula R = S * (P/Q)

THEORY:
A Kelvin bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance below
1. Its operation is similar to the Wheatstones bridge except that in the circuit are
not four but seven resistors. When using a Wheatstone bridge to measure the low
resistor R, the non-perfect wires resistances cant be ignored and substantially affect
the measurement. To avoid this, some modifications must be introduced. If the ratios
K/L and P/Q are equal and the bridge gets balanced, the Wheatstone condition is
again accomplished, R = (PS/Q) result of this modification
a new measuring instrument, the Kelvin Bridge, is achieved. There are some
commercial devices reaching accuracies of 2% for resistance ranges from 0.001 to 25
ohms.
PROCEDURE:
2. Required supply voltage(5v) is given using RPS.
3. The Variable resistance is varied until the galvanometer (or) ammeter shows

THEORY:
A schering bridge is a bridge circuit used for measuring an unknown electrical
capacitance and its dissipation factor. The dissipation factor of a capacitor is the ratio
of its resistance to its capacitive reactance. The schering bridge is basically a four-arm
alternating-current (AC) bridge circuit whose measurement depends on balancing the
loads on its arms.
In the schering bridge, the resistance values of resistors R
4
and R
3
are
known, while the resistance value of resistor r1 is unknown. The Capacitance
values of C
4
and C
2
are also known, while the capacitance of C
1
is the value being
measured. To measure r
1
and C
1
, the values of C
4
and R
3
are fixed, while the values
of R
4
and C
1
are adjusted until the current through the ammeter between points B
and D becomes zero. This happens when the voltages at points B and D are equal,
in which case the bridge is said to be 'balanced'.
When the bridge is balanced, Z

/C

= R

/Z

, where Z
1
is the impedance of
R
4
in parallel with C
4
and Z
3
is the impedance of r
1
in series with C
1
. In an AC
circuit that has a capacitor, the capacitor contributes a capacitive reactance to the
impedance. The capacitive reactance of a capacitor C is 1/2fC.
As such, Z
1
= R
4
/ [2fC
4
((1/2fC

) + R

4
/ (1 + 2fC
4
R

) while Z

=
1/2fC

. Thus, when the bridge is balanced: 2fC

THEORY:
The linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is a type of electrical
transformer used for measuring linear displacement. The transformer has three
solenoid coils placed end-to-end around a tube. The centre coil is the primary, and the
two outer coils are the secondaries. A cylindrical ferromagnetic core, attached to the
object whose position is to be measured, slides along the axis of the tube. An
alternating current is driven through the primary, causing a voltage to be induced in
each secondary proportional to its mutual inductance with the primary. The frequency
is usually in the range 1 to 10 kHz. As the core moves, these mutual inductances
change, causing the voltages induced in the secondaries to change. The coils are
connected in reverse series, so that the output voltage is the difference (hence
"differential") between the two secondary voltages. When the core is in its central
position, equidistant between the two secondaries, equal but opposite voltages are
induced in these two coils, so the output voltage is zero.
When the core is displaced in one direction, the voltage in one coil increases
as the other decreases, causing the output voltage to increase from zero to a
maximum. This voltage is in phase with the primary voltage. When the core moves in
the other direction, the output voltage also increases from zero to a maximum, but its
phase is opposite to that of the primary. The magnitude of the output voltage is
proportional to the distance moved by the core (up to its limit of travel), which is why
the device is described as "linear". The phase of the voltage indicates the direction of
the displacement. Because the sliding core does not touch the inside of the tube, it can
move without friction, making the LVDT a highly reliable device. The absence of any
sliding or rotating contacts allows the LVDT to be completely sealed against the
environment.

THEORY:
An instrumentation (or instrumentational) amplifier is a type of differential
amplifier that has been outfitted with input buffers, which eliminate the need for input
impedance matching and thus make the amplifier particularly suitable for use in
measurement and test equipment. Additional characteristics include very low DC
offset, low drift, low noise, very high open-loop gain, very high common-mode
rejection ratio, and very high input impedances. Instrumentation amplifiers are used
where great accuracy and stability of the circuit both short- and long-term are
required.
Although the instrumentation amplifier is usually shown schematically
identical to a standard op-amp, the electronic instrumentation amp is almost always
internally composed of 3 op-amps. These are arranged so that there is one op-amp to
buffer each input (+,), and one to produce the desired output with adequate
impedance matching for the function. The ideal common-mode gain of an
instrumentation amplifier is zero. Common-mode gain is caused by mismatches in the
values of the equally-numbered resistors and by the mis-match in common mode
gains of the two input op-amps. Obtaining very closely matched resistors is a
significant difficulty in fabricating these circuits, as is optimizing the common mode
performance of the input op-amps.
An instrumentation amp can also be built with 2 op-amps to save on cost and
increase CMRR, but the gain must be higher than 2 (+6 dB).

Page 46 of 77
THEORY:
Calibrating the energy meter means to find out the error in the measurement of
energy by energymeter.Every energy meter has its own characteristics constant
specified by the manufacturer which relates the energy measured in joules and the
number of revolutions of the disc. For example say X revolutions corresponds to the
measurement of Y joules. But practically the value of X is very large and cannot be
measured in the laboratory. Hence using this constant energy recorded for certain less
number of revolutions say 5, is calculated in the laboratory for the calibration
purpose. This energy is denoted as E
r
. Thus E
r
can be calculated from X as E
r
=
(5X)/Y joules
To have zero error, the actual energy consumed by the load for the time
corresponding to the 5 revolutions must be same as E
r
.this energy is called actual
energy consumed are the true energy denoted as E
t
. For various loads, the time
required to complete the 5 revolutions of disc is measured with the help of stop watch.
The percentage of error can be calculated by

THEORY:
A current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents.
Current transformers are also known as instrument transformers. When current in a
circuit is too high to directly apply to measuring instruments, a current transformer
produces a reduced current accurately proportional to the current in the circuit, which
can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments. A current
transformer also isolates the measuring instruments from what may be very high
voltage in the primary circuit.
For a current transformer, it is necessary that the transformation ratio must be
exactly equal to turns ratio and phase of the secondary turns must be displaced by 180
degree from that of the primary turns .Two types of errors affect these characteristics
of an current transformer which are ratio error, phase angle error.

THEORY:
In electronics, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC or D-to-A) is a device for
converting a digital (usually binary) code to an analog signal (current, voltage or
electric charge). A DAC converts an abstract finite-precision number (usually a fixed-
point binary number) into a concrete physical quantity (e.g., a voltage or a pressure).
In particular, DACs are often used to convert finite-precision time series data to a
continually-varying physical signal.

A typical DAC converts the abstract numbers into a concrete sequence of
impulses that are then processed by a reconstruction filter using some form of
interpolation to fill in data between the impulses. Other DAC methods (e.g., methods
based on Delta-sigma modulation) produce a pulse-density modulated signal that can
then be filtered in a similar way to produce a smoothly-varying signal. Most modern
audio signals are stored in digital form (for example MP3s and CDs) and in order to
be heard through speakers they must be converted into an analog signal. Applications,
DACs are therefore found in CD players, digital music players, and PC sound cards
Video signals from a digital source, such as a computer, must be converted to analog
form if they are to be displayed on an analog monitor. A device that is distantly
related to the DAC is the digitally controlled potentiometer, used to control an analog
signal digitally.

THEORY:
A strain gauge is a device used to measure the strain of an object. The strain
gauge consists of an insulating flexible backing which supports a metallic foil pattern.
The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive .As the object is deformed,
the foil is deformed, causing its electrical resistance to change. This resistance
change, usually measured using a Wheatstone bridge, is related to the strain by the
quantity known as the gauge factor.
A strain gauge takes advantage of the physical property of electrical
conductance's dependence on not merely the electrical conductivity of a conductor,
which is a property of its material, but also the conductor's geometry. When an
electrical conductor is stretched within the limits of its elasticity such that it does not
break or permanently deform, it will become narrower and longer, changes that
increase its electrical resistance end-to-end. Conversely, when a conductor is
compressed such that it does not buckle, it will broaden and shorten changes that
decrease its electrical resistance end-to-end. From the measured electrical resistance
of the strain gauge, the amount of applied stress may be inferred. A typical strain
gauge arranges a long, thin conductive strip in a zigzag pattern of parallel lines such
that a small amount of stress in the direction of the orientation of the parallel lines
results in a multiplicatively larger strain over the effective length of the conductor and
hence a multiplicatively larger change in resistance than would be observed with a
single straight-line conductive wire.

THEORY:
To measure iron loss and permeability in an accurate manner we use
maxwells inductance bridge in a sensitive way. Maxwells bridge is use to measure
unknown inductance of the coil which is connected in one arm of the bridge circuit.
Measurement of iron loss and permeability of ring specimen unit contains the
following three major parts as follows.
- Oscillator
- Maxwells Bridge
- Output detector.
In a specimen the iron loss meant for the power loss due to magnetization
loss. The power loss in a ring specimen includes both copper loss and iron loss. In our
instrument specimen made up moulded ferrite core, so the total power loss is equal to
iron loss = I

).The iron loss unit in terms of mw (or)w. Permeability of an
ring specimen dependent upon the following parameter namely length of the winding
