 A power point presentation of Voltmeter
 It contains information about Voltmeter

OBJECTIVE
 To Create Presentation Which Can Give
Information About voltmeter
 To Understand How To Operate Different Tool
A voltmeter, also known as
a voltage meter, is an
instrument used for
measuring the potential
difference, or voltage,
between two points in an
electrical or electronic
circuit. Some voltmeters
are intended for use in
direct current (DC)
circuits; others are
designed for alternating
current (AC) circuits.
Specialized voltmeters can
measure radio frequency
(RF) voltage.
•A digital voltmeter shows voltage directly as numerals.
Some of these meters can determine voltage values to
several significant figures. Practical laboratory voltmeters
have maximum ranges of 1000 to 3000 volts (V). Most
commercially manufactured voltmeters have several
scales, increasing in powers of 10; for example, 0-1 V, 0-10
V, 0-100 V, and 0-1000 V.
•An oscilloscope can be used to measure low voltages; the
vertical displacement corresponds to the instantaneous
voltage. Oscilloscopes are also excellent for the
measurement of peak and peak-to-peak voltages in AC
and RF applications. Voltmeters for measuring high
potential differences require heavy-duty probes, wiring,
and insulators.
 TYPES OF VOLTMETER

1. Analog voltmeters

2. VTVMs and FET VMs

3. Digital voltmeters

1. Analog Voltmeters
Analog voltmeter includes deflecting type of indicating voltmeters.
These are of like moving iron, moving coil, electrostatic types of
voltmeters. Moving coil instruments are of two types namely
permanent magnet and dynamo meter types
Moving-coil instruments with a permanent-magnet field respond
only to direct current. Moving coil instruments consists of permanent
magnet to produce magnetic field, and a coil which is wounded on soft
iron piece and rotates about its own vertical axis. When the current
starts flowing through this coil, deflecting torque is produced
according to Lorenz force equation. This torque is directly
proportional to the voltage across that particular circuit.
2. VTVMs and FET-VMs
Vacuum Tube Volt Meter (VTVM)These types of instruments handle DC
voltage, AC voltage, and resistance measurements. In this type of voltage
measuring device electronic amplifier is used in between the input and the
meter. Due to this arrangement the current drawn from the circuit under
test is reduced. The range of resistances used at the input side in range of
1-20 mega ohms. By these resistances variation we can select the range to
be measured. If this instrument uses the vacuum tube in the amplifier
then it is called as vacuum tube voltmeter. These are used in high power
AC measurements. As the invention of solid state devices used in the
amplifiers, these type of voltmeters are called FET-VM.
3. Digital Voltmeters
Digital VoltmetersVoltmeter accuracy is affected by many factors,
including temperature and supply voltage variations. DVMs display the
measured voltage using LCDs or LEDs to display the result in a floating
point format. Obviously, if voltage measurements are taken and the
results are displayed digitally with LED or LCD displays, the
instrument has to contain an A/D converter. Using a programmed micro
controller, ADC and LCD display, the following circuit is ready to
provide accurate digital display of analog values from 0 to 15 volts DC.
These are used because of the properties like accuracy, durability and
extra features. These are completely eliminates the parallax errors. It
will convert the signal under test and then amplifies it.
 ADVANTAGES OF VOLTMETER
 They are more accurate than analog multimeters.
 They reduce reading and interpolation errors.
 The 'auto-polarity' function can prevent problems from
connecting the meter to a test circuit with the wrong
polarity.
 Parallax errors are eliminated. If the pointer of an analog
multimeter is viewed from a different angle, you will see a
different value. This is parallax error. A digital
multimeter's numerical display solves this problem
 Digital multimeter displays have no moving parts. This
makes them free from wear and shock failures.
 The reading speed is increased as it is easier to read.
 Unlike analog multimeters, zero adjustment is not
required.
 Digital output is suitable for further processing or
recording and can be useful in a rapidly increasing range of
computer controlled applications
